I Like Thursday #9

I had intentions of taking my camera with me the past 7 days even with the negative temps.  Yep epic fail.   This evening after surviving the freezing rain that kept me cooped up I finally thought it is time to figure out what I liked this week.

With the cold snap we just had I like my wool socks.  I found these merino wool socks on Amazon and ordered them.  They are very fluffy, and keep my feet warm.

 I have  blue, green, purple and gray pairs.

I like the fact that my chickens may be finally done moulting.  Moulting is when they lose their feathers, and grow new.  The problem is that it takes a lot of energy and egg production severely dwindles.  Add to that the extreme colds, and a few days that I wouldn't let them out of the coop due to the extreme cold.  Most of November, and December I am lucky if I get 1 egg a day.

We are back up to 5-6 eggs a day again.  Yea!

I like candles, it is nice to be able to burn them, and I have definitely likes when it comes to the scents.  I have been a wee bit homesick for Oregon lately.  One of my friends that recently was transferred was talking about a housewarming gift they received from a company called Homesick.  

I bought one for my daughter and one for myself.  According to their website:

Like a breakfast in the great forests of Oregon, this fragrance is reminiscent of maple, pears, and roasted almonds layered over a complex base of fir needles, pine, sandalwood, and rich cedar.

The best way I could describe it, was it smelled like being in the forest during a hot summer day.  

I like my bookshelf that I purchased a couple of months ago.  It actually has adjustable shelves. 

I used it to hold Christmas decorations.  I also like the John Deere clock that I found in a box in the attic.  Reminds me of Jeff, and makes me smile.

I like sales.  I am not a big person to buy clothes or to go out shopping for clothes.  I don't know about you, but I find it extremely frustrating.  But every now and then I see something online.  Does this count as clothes?  OK maybe it is just a scarf.  But I love the birds and the colors in the scarf.

Recently I have been adding to my wardrobe so I am not always wearing jeans, and a tank top.  I also went closet diving and found a few things that I used to be able to wear which will help me get through the rest of the winter.

I said I like sales.  I like fabric sales also.  Especially after Christmas, inventory clearance sales!  I saw a Christmas table runner that was a kit.  I looked at the kit, which was already sold out.  But I thought I may be able to reproduce it, with some similar fabrics.

I love the icy winter grays with the pop of red.  Cardinals and chickadees are my favorites.

I like finding a tutorial which actually spurs me into making something.  Yes I know I wasn't going to make anything other than the list.  But I needed this!

I made a name tag.  At guild if you don't have a name tag you have to throw a $1.00 into the kitty. A little embroidery, some selvedges and....OK I think it is kind of awesome.  Wedding Dress Blue has had three so far this week.  There is a spool one that I would like to do also....hey a girl can't have too many name tags right?  Oh and yes I made that in a couple of hours including the embroidery on Wednesday.  Yes one Wednesday!
