Thursday

I haven't had the most imaginative blog titles lately, not sure why. Usually I'm such a fan of alliteration but I'm not feeling it for some reason.

I'm really glad the weekend is near; only two school days next week and then the break will be here. Although it'll be a whirlwind with the girls home, it'll still be nice to sleep in and lounge around in my pajamas. Speaking of pajamas, I am loving the pair I bought last month at the Gap Outlet. They were a spur of the moment buy, but what a good one. Soft, stretchy, and comfortable, and I think they look nice too. Of course, I'm sure my husband is tired of seeing them, as I've usually got them on by the time he gets home. I think they are a good substitute for my lack of beach time. I know that sounds odd, but I was thinking about how long it's been since I walked down to the beach, what with the time change and all. I never get home before dark these days, and it seems like it's raining on the weekends. I'm hoping to take a walk this weekend so I can take some photographs of some of the kitschy holiday decorations in our neighborhood. They have to be seen to be appreciated, believe me.

I made this last night after reading about it on Make It Do. It really smells nice, although mine doesn't look as pretty since I used ground cloves instead of whole ones. Oh, and I just realized I forgot to put whip up on my blog list, so I'm way behind on it. Like this and this and this! Gotta go catch up!

Oh, and I just saw these over at PurlBee. So pretty. I do love their project ideas. This one looks like a nice keep-in-the-car project, and it'll help me use some yarn I bought from KnitPicks that I've had no idea how to use. Until now.
