a new day

We are eating healthy with the onset of winter so today the Mr made a simple made-up-recipe-by-him soup. Tomato and basil with an unbridled amount of garlic. It tasted of the garden.

The recent rain has meant our dog has been fireside for a few nights and im wondering what ive let myself in for. 

And spurred on by Kate's post im using May to push me on to try new things. Some different buttons,

new hand twisted woollen loops on a fresh take of a hooded jacket, a technique I remember my mum teaching me how to do when I was really young,

just a hint of doilie on a front corner in order to use up every last piece of scrap,

and a different wool used as a hood that you may only notice when you look closer.

Happy rainy thursday to you all. I love the rain dont you?
