happy things

:: Minus 30 celsius weather, frosted tree branches, sparkly window decorations and beautiful sunshine ... all very enjoyable from inside where my lungs are spared.  [Update: -52 celsius with wind chill!!]

 :: Learning how to knit in the round and use double pointed needles.  Both something I'd feared, and both not as hard as it seemed with a little help from youtube.

:: Avery's continued excitement over her own knitting projects, which morphs into a bowl of saucy spaghetti, which then becomes an unruly skipping rope (for a girl who hasn't learned how to skip).

 :: Feeling festive.

:: One very sleepy girl at lunch time today.  She was bone tired after three days of refusing a nap and a really disruptive sleep last night.  The house was quiet for 2.5 hours.
