Brrr..

It's finally starting to warm up around here, meaning it's finally above zero. I'm just glad I can go outside now without coughing because the air is so cold! And cold weather usually means lots of cocoa, lots of snuggles and a little bit of knitting.....
On Sunday I went to a cookie exchange, and it was great to get a whole assortment of cookies that I didn't have to make. I just made 6 dozen of one cookie then we gathered, ate, drank, and traded. Of course the cookies are almost already half way gone so I'm sure I'll be making more soon. I found this recipe yesterday for Lemon Cookies by oh, fransson and I think they will have to be made. I love lemon and these look perfect.
I made this knitting needle organizer as a custom order for a lady here in the area. It's for her mother and she let me pick the fabrics, which was kind of nerve wracking and a bit exciting all at the same time. She said her mother likes blue so I hope she likes it! It's already in the mail and off to its new home, whew.

It looks WONDERFUL, Leslie. My mom will love it! Thank you so much for taking on the "nerve wracking" chore of picking the fabric for me. :) You are speedy.

I'm so glad you like it! I was excited to use that fabric because I've been wanting to do something with it for awhile. It should be there tomorrow. :)
