This 'n' That

Life is moving at quite a nice clip and I am getting behind with my blogging. I snap pictures here and there and with this painting challenge haven't shown you any. So, this will be a mishmash sort of post.

The other day when it was so rainy and gray out, I loved this little spot of indoor sunshine on our table. Candles go such a long way in making me feel cozy inside.

This was my painting for yesterday, day 6 of the challenge. I picked out four colors and that's what came from it. I had fun just letting my imagination run wild. Can you spy the red alligator that appeared in the lower left?

SOLD! Thank you!!

And then, lest you think I haven't been knitting, a few photos of scarves I finished lately and put in my knitting Etsy shop. Actually, the first one I haven't listed yet, but I will today. It's such fun yarn and great color!

And these two are nice and long and warm!

Now, this was fun. I knitted and then felted a pair of slipper socks for a friend of mine. The process of felting just fascinates me. They were so huge when I was done knitting and then the perfect size after the wash.  (Don't you love that little house candle holder? A friend gave that to us years ago and I think it's so pretty.)

And, last but not least, my painting for today. It's such a totally different style and I just adore it! I limited my color palette to cerulean blue deep, raw sienna, black and white. And I just started with the black marks and went from there. It was fun! Fun!

I have so much more to share - lots of it revolving around food and recipes - you know me, always cooking and baking and especially in the winter! That'll have to wait for another post.

In the meantime, I hope you are all doing well and staying cozy and warm!!
