White and Quite...

Hi and Happy Sunday to all!!!
We got snow last night and this morning, when we got up...all was so white and...soooo quite...
No noise at all around the house and was so nice!

It snowed all the day and trees, yards, roads, cars seemed to be covered by soft and white cotton! Today all was magic, I know that tomorrow probably will rain so, the snow will melt fast but today....today it's perfect!
I'm sure that tomorrow I will not like the snow like today because I'll have to drive and go to work and the roads will be not so good and probably dirty so...I'll have those pics for remember myself how I feel today! :O)

Today I feel soooo lazy...

And...I feel very sleepy...

The weather is bad, rainy and grey and...I would like to sleep all day long... ;O)

My new scarf!

Hi and Happy Sunday to all!!!
I've just finished to knit my new scarf and I love how it turns up!
I chose a grey wool, I just knit and purl so...a really easy one!

But...I would love to add a sweet touch so I made 2 hearts felt with some rhynestones and I sewed them on both endinds of the scarf...

I'll wear it this afternoon as it's a very sunny but very very cold day here...
Talk to you soon!!!!

A Card for my Dad

Hi!!
Tomorrow the whole family is going to celebrate my Dad's Birthday!
We will go to the restaurant but...for him...it's a surprise...

He doesn't have any clues.
Tomorrow morning my Mom will tell him that my hubby and me are going to bring them to my sister's house for have a lunch all together!
So...when they will be in our car, we will drive them to the restaurant!

We ordered for him a wonderful cake and bought him some nice stuffs:a new cell phone, a sweather and a t-shirt and I made him this cute Birthday Card, hoping that he likes it!

It's turning the BIG 70th so...it's a very important Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD!!!!!

Knitting a new scarf

Hi!

When I come home...I really needed a bit of relax...

It's 100% merino wool, so soft and warm...

I weared my pijama, take my place on the couch near the lightfire and...started to knit a scarf for myself...
What a nice way to take a bit of relax at the end of a "black" day!
And soon...I'll have a new scarf to wear!!!!
In what way you love to realx at the end of the day?
