Homemaking Mondays: Time for Cozy Feet

 

Hello! 
Yes, it's time for cozy feet again.

Freely going barefoot outdoors has come to an end.

It's time for cozy socks and warm sturdy shoes.

What better way to welcome this next season

but with some new wool socks?

I have a lovely variety of yarn that I have 

plans for...some for friends and some for family.

I love the worsted weight wool yarn for these

as they work up faster and I just have to admit

I enjoy the size of the yarn to work with more then

with the fingerling/small sock weight.

That said...I finally finished up a scarf that I've 

been working on for yes...a long time.

It's a delightful delicate scarf with a lovely drape to it.

So, there is a lovely effort to be made with the smaller yarn.

If any of you were wondering--- it's a pattern called Birch Trees.

This week I also finished up re-doing 

the cushions for our camper.

The foam needed to be washed so I took the covers off

and then washed those as well. 

I must say that I will never wash foam in such large 

sizes ever again!

It was so hard to wring out and then also took 

forever to dry.

Anyhoo...it is done and the covers are sewn on snugly again.

I used the ladder stitch and it closed up the seams so nicely.  

A fun project that I finally got around to 

is tidying up this cute little basket I had found.

It is broken a bit in spots...like along the right side of the lid.

I glued down the wooden pieces that were hanging

and then glued on this leather belt I found

around the edge of the lid to add more stability 

plus I thought it was kinda cute.

Oh another fun find this past week was this 

light-up art for my son.

It's a bottle cap look with some little lights.

Something fun for his wall in his new room.

It has been at the one store for a long time and I've 

thought about it for awhile...so being on sale I splurged.

Along with the warm socks,

cozy warm blankets 

and soft lighting

that comes along with the fall.

Time for some tea. 

Yes, each season has it's special tea tastes.

Well at least for me.

As the weather cools I have a hankering for black tea.

I am not having sugar at the moment

so I added a couple drops of stevia along with some cream.

It mades for a lovely cup of tea.

Just to sit and sip

while watching the leaves outside

swirl and fall in the wind from the trees.

I do miss the leaves on the trees...but oh the beauty of them falling!

This week we spotted this funny scene 

out the kitchen window.

There was our neighbourhood fox sitting quietly

watching the fat shed squirrel having a meal 

at the corner of the roof. 

After finishing up his cone he tossed it down at the fox 

and then scampered off across the roof.

The fox then proceeded to trot around the building

looking to see where it was off to.

I have to say that little fox left without a meal.

Sad for the fox, but I do really like that 

chubby squirrel who is so friendly.

Thank you for dropping by!

What kind of cozy have you been adding to your homes

as the seasons are changing?

I hope you have a beautiful day

keeping your home.

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
