Kickin' it Old Skool: Time Capsule

2/12/2013

 
Throughout December I'm Kickin' it Old Skool with Jamie Ridler, Sharon Ridler and a wonderful group of creatives!  We're having loads of fun remembering when blogging was just that...fun!   Join us any time!

Today's entry is a time capsule of what's going on right now.  


What am I reading?
There was a time when I had a pile of books on the side of my bed but thanks to audiobooks and my Kindle, I don't knock them down in the middle of the night!  Right now I'm listening to 'The Secrets of Shambala" by James Redfield, 'The Big Leap' by Gay Hendricks.

On the Kindle I'm reading 'Tranquilologie' by Kimberly Wilson and 'Conscious Living' by Gay Hendricks, and 'Magic Tree House: Thanksgiving on Thursday' by Mary Pope Osborne with my son.  

What am I watching?

Agents of Shield, Arrow, and Sleepy Hollow

What am I listening to?

I've started listening to the Jazz Christmas and Pink Martini Pandora stations.  I just discovered a french band called Nouvelle Vague that I'm smitten with.   They do covers of some of my favorite 80s tunes!

What am I loving?

I am over the moon in love with the Tranquility Du Jour daybook.  I'm always on the search for the perfect planner and this one fits the needs I have of being functional and beautiful.  I'm loving buying myself fresh flowers every week.  I take a vase with me to the grocery store and the florist there arranges the flowers I purchase there in it for me.  I'm especially loving it now that most of the trees in my yard are barren.  Just a reminder that life continues.  I'm also loving Angry Orchard's Hard Apple Cider.  It's so crisp and refreshing...I was given it back in September and I just can't get enough of it!  
 
What am I wearing?

My favorite comfy jeans, a beautiful pink, long sleeved shirt with tea motifs on it and some bunny slippers that I knit and felted myself.  I'm also wearing my red shawl given to my by my mom on our last Christmas together.  And curled up in my lap as I type is the baby doggy Chloe who loves being wrapped up in my shawl.  

What am I creating? 


I am knee deep in creating Christmas gifts for my friends and family.  I'm making my first fitted garment...a sweater vest for my son with his favorite character (Darth Vader) on the front. I'm also creating some new ecourses to be released next year! 

What am I looking forward to?


I'm looking forward to the annual Santa Lucia Party!  I was inspired in 2010 by Joanna Colbert Powell's ebook "A Crown of Candles: How to Throw a Fabulous Santa Lucia Party" (now available in print!).  This will be the 4th year we've had it and I'm excited that we've actually lived somewhere long enough to have it so many times.  I"m really looking forward to welcoming old and new friends to my home.

I'm also looking forward to The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug!

I love the challenge you've given yourself with your first knitted, fitted garment...your son will love the Darth Vader vest!

I've never tried felting my knitting, but love the idea of your bunny slippers. My goodness, that list of what you're loving right now is so enticing I might have to try some of those things!

My first time here. I found you through the blog-a-thon. I smiled when I saw the header of your blog. I have been knitting for years and have never tried a fitted garment.

Well I've just learned about a whole bunch of cool things I never knew existed, all here in your post. Nouvelle Vague... heck yeah, I'm liking them, too! I love Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and all those 80's bands and I am liking the sound of this woman's voice a whole lot. Santa Lucia parties? I'm intrigued! Tranquilologie? This sounds like a way of life after my own heart.

Lovely to meet you and learn something new as I'd never heard of a Santa Lucia party before now! Thank you for sharing that. Looking forward to Kickin' It with you all month :)
