Winter

       

Winter is here and is my favourite season. Don’t get me wrong I love summer and the things it brings – swims in the ocean, long days and shorts, but winter is just me. The short days, the crisp air and the comfort that comes from days curled up on the couch with a hot chocolate, blanket and my latest crafty project.

Winter is the blankets I have made and acquired over time. Snuggling under them alone or together, keeping warm and remembering why I made them in the first place.
Winter is hand knitted beanies and cowls. Quick projects and the ultimate winter accessory.
Winter is hot water bottles with hand knitted covers. Warming your toes as you climb into bed or just to hug at anytime.
Winter is flannelette sheets. Warm, cozy and extra fluffy softness as you climb into bed at the end of the day.
Winter is jumpers and jackets. Comfort is the key and in winter you can always be comfy in a big oversized jumper.
Winter is Ugg boots eagerly awaiting your arrival home in the afternoon. Warm toes = happy me.
Winter is the heater as I dream of a fire. Our heater is wonderful and keeps us warm all winter with barely a blip on the electricity bill, but a fire is better. Its smell, warmth and nature.

Winter is more than just these pictures it is trips to the snow, hockey season, slow cooked food and baking for the soul. It’s knitting and crocheting, its gloves and scarves, its an angry ocean and wonderful rain. It’s the lazy season where you can regroup, collect your thoughts and gear up for the warmer months ahead.  Winter is well, just perfect.
