The Winter Queen's not done with us yet...

Bone. Chilling. Cold.
*shivers*

Last night I made the best of it, and made a huge pot of split pea soup with a couple of ham hocks I bought this weekend. Then I baked chocolate-orange cupcakes. The combination made the kitchen veeeeery cosy, all warm and full of steam...turns out cupcakes made with duck eggs are really nice; a bit extra fluffy, even:)

So today I put layers on the layers and brought a few extra cupcakes to work for a few cow-irkers. I think we all needed the boost. I brought knitting with me too--I kept fingering Halfmoon Molly's not-quite done smoke ring and kept thinking, "This isn't warm enough, I think." Sooooo...she's getting two--the fancy-dancy one and a much warmer version I'm knitting in the breakroom in warm fiery colors. And soon they both will be finished...


Must dash, but thinking of you all...stay warm, won'tcha?

Today's bitter cold weather provides the perfect opportunity to wear all the wearable things you've knitted for yourself.

Walking advertisement for your artistic works!

Keep warm!
