cool yarn

I found some pretty cool yarn today and I just had to buy it. It's chenille and a beautiful kaleidoscope print. It will make a beautiful warm scarf (or two). I also have a huge, 11oz skein of Rainbow Boucle-Black yarn that I want to use on a pattern for a shoulder shrug. I think it would look gorgeous! It was pricey, but the pattern is easy so it won't go to waste. It almost makes me want cold weather so I can work on these projects. I don't have the time now as there is too much yard work. Raking leaves, storing the summer lawn furniture and just getting ready for winter. Yuck. On the other hand I like baking in the fall and winter, that
makes the house smell wonderful and inviting. Gives you that sense of warmth and security.

Books on CD

I started listening to books on cd. I just started the series by Terry Goodkind, Wizard's First Rule. The basis for the new tv series Legend of the Seeker. I have watched the first season on tv, that captivated my attention. The book provides the small details needed to put the story together that you don't get from the tv episodes. I have "read" many books on cd. They are wonderful. I can put my cd player in my jacket pocket while I walk the dogs or mow the grass, even while I crochet. Love it.

What I've been doing lately

Lately I've been checking into home remedies. Now that summer is over and the changing of the seasons mean colds and flu will be going around, I would much rather take preventitive measures that are natural. With this in mind I found a book at the library about the power of juicing. From boosting energy to curbing your appetite, to just making some great tasting juice combinations. My next addition to the kitchen will be a juicer.
