Fiona, my cute penguin, is loving the arrival of cold weather but I
thought she required a soft muffler to be fashionable for the season.
As I'm still knitting scarves whilst watching TV in the evenings, it was easy
to pull out some leftover yarn and get the needles clicking.
This was a quickie done during an episode of The Crown, Part I - fabulous
show and I'm now anxiously awaiting the chance to view Part II.
Yesterday I actually bought some rich red yarn so will also be knitting up
a few more miniature scarves - perhaps the reindeer should also have
mufflers and I have to keep my fingers moving whilst binge watching
TV without guilt on these chilly days.

A dear friend arrived at our Christmas luncheon last week with this
very attractive wreath, a belated Birthday gift - I'm thrilled with it!
Today the sun is brilliant and the temperature is slowly climbing to a high
of around 51F - the Christmas shoppers will be out in force.
Meanwhile, I completed the outdoor vignette by the front door.
The greenery is in water and later this coming week I will use it on the
fireplace mantel. I just couldn't bring myself to dump the still solid pumpkins - had
four left so roasted one and grabbed the nickel and bronze spray paints for these three!
The red vintage looking lanterns I found at ALDI, perfect for this spot with
safe candles set to turn on and off automatically - one of life's more acceptable
modern inventions, right?

It will get even warmer during the coming week - up into the low 70's,
doubtful we will see a White Christmas around here!
The sweaters and boots are being worn though. . . . . . . . . . and
yesterday, during a visit to REI, I found a Christmas present to myself,
something special to wear on my expedition trip early next year.
More on that another time. Perhaps I'll do a 'travel to where?' guessing game again.
You, my wonderful readers and friends, always seem to enjoy participating. . . . .
. . . . and we'll all have more time hopefully to catch up with each other in the
New Year. I'm reading and loving your great posts but often just can't find time
to comment so beg forgiveness.
Enjoy your weekend - busy I'm sure!
