What's Up Buttercup

Like so many beginner bloggers out there, my posts are sporadic. obviously. I haven't been on here for literally months and months. We are finally settled in our new home, Christmas has come and gone and we are patiently waiting for spring. I'm not going to say this town isn't for me, we've met some wonderful people here, but it's not exactly a place I want to stay forever. We have big plans for retirement already! We are seriously looking into building our forever home on the beautiful west coast. I can see it now, a small house, our dog, surrounded by the raw beauty of the coast. I just want simplicity!  One of my favourite artists, yes I will forever think of them as artists, are the people at Pioneer Log Homes. They build beautiful homes that you'll never want to leave. 

You can visit their site here.

I think I will grow into an old hippie, with a motorcycle, and a spinning wheel, living in a log cabin and painting up a storm.

Two things are very new to me recently, and since I've been going on and on IRL about my motorcycle and trips, it could not be farther away from that side of me. But hey, it's good to have many layers, like an onion I always say!

Knitting. It's new my found love. I'm not good at it and haven't been brave enough to go more advanced than slippers and dishcloths so far, but I have cast on my first shrug, we'll see how that goes. Here's my WIP (Work in Progress people, come on!)   ;-)

 

The other new love, TEA! I can't get enough of it! My current faves are from Davids Tea I've dabbled in loose tea before, not that I didn't enjoy it, but it never caught my attention for long. I am OBSESSED people! Sadly their seasonal teas, which are spectacular, are limited edition for the Holidays, but I stocked up! Apple Custard, Sugar Plum and Sleigh Ride are my sips of choice right now. You gotta get it!

 

Well I think I'm tapped out for now, you can join me and my knitting adventures by friending me on Ravelry  My handle there is Skeena4 same goes for instagram if you're into it :-)

Stay cool peeps!
