Reading

I really love this painting by James Christensen. This similar to how I am at home: I wear something comfortable (usually sweat pants or my PJs) and everything I need is spread around me: my PC, my camera, whatever I'm reading, my knitting project. My husband refers to it as my "docking station".

Denim Coat

Because I was wearing an ice-cream coloured sweater, I had to get some ice-cream. Here I'm also wearing my denim coat: I absolutely adore it.

My Mom had bought this sweater for herself, but ended up giving it to me. I love the colour: it always reminds me of my fave flavour of ice-cream: mint chocolate chip.

Hearty

I knitted this yesterday (during one evening), just to practice creating pictures with textures in knitting. The pattern is from the book Stich 'n Bitch by Debbie Stoller. I learned to knit from that book and in my opinion it's the best book for complete beginners - it really shows you what to do step by step.

I thought I might use this heart as a decorative element in some project, such as a handbag, a pillow or the back of a denim jacket. Let's see where it eventually ends up.

Another cute photo of Kenzo, our big boy of one year.

Kenzo was posing for the camera today; so cute. He is now pretty much fully grown. Our twins, Kenzo and Chanel are now a year old, so not kittens anymore.
