Happy Belated New Year Everyone!
Apologies for the unscheduled delay in blog posts....Christmas seemed to sneak up on me this year and I was lost in a flurry of last minute plans, events, and yuletide craft times. AND THEN we actually go snow on the local mountains this year and I couldn't resist the temptation to drop everything and go play in the snow! I'm not a huge snowboarder or skier but I love a good snowshoe. The photo above was taken on Mt. Seymour from the Dog Mountain view point. I'm really excited to get out and explore some more this winter so brace yourselves for more pictures like the above on my Instagram in the following weeks!

Because of it's plaid-nees the folks Wool and the Gang named it after the fabulous Gwen circa 1995 in all her ska, plaid wearing amazing-ness.

Time to take a break from coats for a bit (although if you've stumbled across my blog from Heather's Closet Case files don't worry I will be posting about my Clare Coat real soon!), today I give you my Escher Cocoon Cardigan, a Brooklyn Tweed pattern by Alexis Winslow.

As promised here is part two of my Minoru Jackets, the original Minoru that I made two winters ago! For this version of the jacket I used a brown speckled, wool coating, and interlined it with a cheep fleece for extra toasty-ness before using a red cotton print (with feathers!) as the regular lining. I haven't worn this jacket since last winter since the weather hasn't been cold enough, but just popping it on for this photo shoot reminded me of how comfy, cozy, and 'lived in' this jacket feels....which probably explains the semi-smug smile on my face in the above photo...I'm literally thinking "that's right guys, I'm going to be warm and comfy this winter like you don't even know!"
