I really do love this time of year, lighting the fire for the first time, mugs of hot chocolate, autumnal colours, homemade soups and a chance to slow down ... just a bit.
Things are definitely a lot quieter in the garden and that gives me the chance to concentrate on our little homestead craft shop. My knitting needles and yarn come out and I really enjoy planning out my winter projects.
I’m slightly obsessed with chunky yarn at the moment, I love a scarf you can snuggle into and I love how quickly it knits up. So cosy ...
I’ve also been finishing up some sparkly headbands / neck warmers, the yarn is interlaced with metallic thread, which really looks so pretty. I think with the way things have been going this year, we could all use some extra sparkle in our lives.
As for outdoor projects, I’m so excited ... I’ve been wanting a tap in our raised bed garden FOREVER, years in fact and finally it’s been installed. I’m so, so grateful, I can’t tell you ... It really should make life so much easier and save so much time. I think we’re probably going to look into a drip system, to free up even more time ... if anyone has any recommendations we love to hear them.
Anyway, I’m off to pop my latest knits into our shop ... hope your having a great weekend. Stay safe, stay positive, smile ... Xxx
