2014 retrospective

Today being the last day of 2014, I thought of sharing with you the pictures of the quilts I managed to finish this year. Among those ten quilts six are baby quilts, as they were six babies born in my circle!

I wish everybody a wonderful New Year's Eve.
See you next year for new creative adventures!

Slow Sunday Knitting

Yarns

Blue knitting

Knitting

For me, wintertime is not wintertime without knitting near the fireplace! I love the warmth of the wool, and nowadays you can find such gorgeous yarns, with a wonderful soft touch and in a huge range of colors, that it's impossible to resist! At this time being I am knitting a blue jacket using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn, and I just received a great wool from Rowan : Felted Tweed, of which I love the soft tune and touch. Most problably for another jacket...

Sharing today a "slow knitting" post at Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching as I do not have any quilting to show today.

Christmas Cookies

During these days, definitely no quilting, no sewing, no knitting, only cooking all day long!
I baked the traditional Greek Christmas cookies called Kourabiedes. They are done with almonds, butter, eggs, wheat, sugar and cognac, and they are delicious!
Today is the preparation of Christmas Eve diner, but I make a short break to send all my cyberfriends my best wishes for a HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
