Rob notice this this morning.
A couple of boxes piled randomly on a table but it turns out to be not so random after all.

 

1. Hot cocoa on a chilly day.
2. Zeke nuffing my legs and asking to be picked up.
3. Abby playing with her toy, instead of the cat, when I tell her to.
4. Lots of leftover roast beef and vegetables in the fridge to feed us all week.
5. A stack of Japanese goodness.


6. That the Japanese craft books read left to right but the magazine reads right to left.
7. Finally having the pattern to make some slippers like these. I'm thinking of linen lined with flannel. They'll be so cute around the house with skirts.
8. Seeing patches of ground as we walked around the lake tonight.
9. Finding the cord for my ipod so I can put some more music on it.
10. Biscuits cooking in the oven, half for dinner and half with sugar on top for breakfast tomorrow.

What do you love today?

I went thrifting with my sister this weekend and came home with some pretty good finds.

When I dumped out the button jar I got to sort things out I found this sweet little sailboat ...


and this tiny oval.


I found a package of three suiting fabrics that just have to be made into owls. They might make contributions to some fall cushion covers for the living room this year too.


Two large wooden embroidery hoops might get used for embroidery but are more likely to end up displaying some of my favourite fabrics. In favour of the embroidery, I found a long rectangular dress (all the dresses at the flea market were this style) of pure linen to add to my fabric stash.


I also snagged (but didn't photograph) a couple of bags of stuffing and some pillow cases. I think there is a lot of fabric washing in my near future.

Things just don't seem complete at the moment without a cute puppy picture, so here is Abby snoozing on the couch.
