It's a cold day in Upstate, NY and the snow has fallen rapidly. I've already been out twice to shovel, and haven't seen too many of my neighbors. The snow is pretty, but it's been covered by a thin layer of ice. Today has given me the perfect opportunity to catch up on random things and of course, do some knitting!
So I am off to work on the traveling scarves I received a few days ago!

A fresh list o'goals
I told myself that I really didn't want to make resolutions this year. I have taken that road in the past and sadly it's led me to a dead end. Instead, I am wiping the dust of my big list of goals. Some people may call it that. Others may refer to it as their on-going to-do list.
And since I have been feeling very re-newed lately, I am certain that this year my goals will become achieved. I can smell the sweet smell of success in the air but alas, I must not get a head of myself!
Some of my craft related goals include:
- painting, re-organizing, and jazzing up my craft room
- finally get some items onto Etsy
- start my series of folk paintings
- finish all knitting projects before I start new ones (yeah, right!)
- learn how to dye yarn
- and finally, do more spinning! Perhaps take a wheel class!
It's not that bad of a list, eh? Something to work towards. And I'll check back with you all in a few months with a friendly progress report!

I've been a naughty blogger!
Where does the time go? Seriously? It really does have a way of just flying right by! My last post was regarding my super awesome trip to Rhinebeck. I miss those days - and the weather that went a long with it.
While it's been very chilly, I haven't been getting that much knitting done. I didn't really promise to do any holiday knitting - with the exception of Craig's first pair of socks....which I did finish one BEFORE Christmas! Does that count? Needless to say, the other one has been on hold. OH WAIT - I did forget to mention that I took a 4 needle mitten class and made the hubby a pair of snazzy mittens out of Mission Falls!
I think that I simply must make myself a pair of mittens. And I have been wanting to start a whole bevy of other projects, but I must restrain myself! High five to me for not buying yarn in a while....must.resist.alpaca!
