who knew there were so many types of bamboo knitting needles?

This morning I have been researching double pointed bamboo knitting needles. I would prefer to purchase many sizes at once. So far on Amazon.com I see the best deals and quality offered. I have some Clover bamboo needles which are excellent but pricey when you want to buy them in every size. I prefer knitting with bamboo needles so I will continue to research for the best deal and quality.
Today I saw my first tiny little snowflakes coming down. Only 31 degrees out,but yet no accumulation! That is ok,it is too early for me to have that white stuff on the ground, winter's are long enough here in northern Mn.
My daughter just gave me the best cream cheese pumpkin dessert recipe that I will later copy on here. I am a sucker for anything pumpkin!
Today I am working on my polarfleece large bag, plus when I take a break from that and watch the tv, I am knitting gloves and mittens,plus leg warmers. I have my directions all spread out in front of me, making it look like I work in utter chaos! Oh well, that is me, I work best under pressure and many ideas flying through my mind!
Best get busy now for the day is a wasting!

Busy Day!

Well, so far I have listed 2 of my woven polar fleece bags on my etsy shop, listed on yaami, now writing in my blog and next take a break from weaving and go make some chili.
It is that kind of day, chili day! Gloomy and cool, feels like I should go cook something that will warm us up plus smells up the house good! I have been using baby butterbeans in my chili for awhile. Instead of putting the traditional kidney beans I thought since this is a favorite bean of ours, I would try it. Plus I will make some mashed potatoes to serve the chili on! I know, no cal eating tonight! Gotta cheat sometimes!

What happened to Fall?

Goodness, we saw the beautiful fall colors for just a short time and we are now going into winter? We have snow and rain here in northern Mn. today. At least the temps. are staying above zero. I have 2 many projects on the burner once again. Today I determined to get the fringe on my new design, crohook scarf. Also still cutting and sewing that polar fleece for rugs , mats and bags.
I listed a couple of my new items on etsy the last couple of days. Oh yea, I did join Twitter. Now that is interesting, love looking at the posts and meeting new people.
Loretta Lynn is performing here at one of the local casinos next week. Shoot, I was not on time and missed out on getting tickets. She has been one my favorites, since I was a little girl. Guess you could say I was raised up listening to her and all the country western stars on my radio.

More Snow Coming!

Well here it is Sunday evening, most of the new snow we got early saturday morn, is gone. BUT....
more coming tomorrow! They are now forecasting a 70% chance for it with highs only in the low 30's. Goodness, certainly hope this does not mean winter is really going to stick around!
I went to Joanne's fabrics to day and purchased some "princess" fabric for a dress for our youngest granddaughter. She said she wants to be a princess, so I found the perfect fabric for it. When finished I will take a picture and post it on here. Hopefully it won't be a blur, this little one does not sit long!
Tomorrow I hope to get some pictures of the new items I have finished. I have 4 new mats, a scarf and 3 bags. I need to get a polar fleece bag done for myself too. I am thinking I want blue, red and green. That will go with my wintergreen coat that I have from Ely WinterGreen store.
