Then I made a new soup recipe, The Barefoot Contessa's Winter Minestrone sans the pancetta and spinach.
It was delicious! You know it is good when everyone has seconds, right?! It felt good making a new, healthy recipe and putting leftovers in the freezer for nights where I don't have the energy to cook.
I also swatched for my new design...
The swatch isn't exactly the design, but the yarn, wow oh wow! Knitted Wit's Shine yarn blocked so beautifully that I can't wait to get this started tomorrow! Right after I do some work work (boo! must start back to work tomorrow, but at least it can be from home in my jammies!).
And tonight I'm enjoying a new cuppa tea from Teavana. A happy new year surprise gift arrived today and it sure did brighten my day!
I also hope that the underdog team, Louisville, beating an SEC team, Florida, is a good sign for that National Championship too! GO Irish!
Oh, one more thing. I didn't spend New Year's Eve with Little Guy, but the picture he sent sure did kick off the new year with a smile! Here he is and Shadow dog :) Shadow has been sick, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Happy New Year!

Oh sending all the good vibes, healing drool and crossed paws that I have Shadow's way! Love the food pics and the swatch looks stunning. g
Just found you recently, and hope to follow you into 2013!
BTW, I'm trying to convince Hubby that I do not have a knitting problem, but it's hard to convince when that's all I want to do all day! Lol!
