Thing #1 :: on my table ::
:: a winter cherry plant, bought this morning from the supermarket ::
Thing #2 :: in my tummy ::
:: freshly baked carrot cake, with a hot cup of tea ::
Thing #3 :: in my bag ::
:: 16 scrumptious balls of yarn, with a new project about to start ::
Happy Wednesday to you all, hope you find some heart-skippy-happy things to enjoy today!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Edited to add :: the carrot cake recipe can be found here, and the yarn is Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, which you can find more of here....more details about the yarn/project planning to come!
I love the selection of colors. What kind of yarn do you use? It is hard to find such a great range sometimes in one yarn, at least at my local shop. Thanks. Beth

The lovely sunshine made it a happy day for me, pushing the pram, scrunching through the fallen leaves and enjoying the sun on my face.
Your new wool looks very yummy as does the cake!
