Day 11: K is for Kindness

(YAWN!)  I feel a bit like this sleepy little koala today.  I am ready for a nap and the soft raindrops collecting on the window next to me are not helping me one bit.

However, today is the letter K, special K, and Day 11 of my series More to Love: A to Z.

• some of my favorite people (Kaden, Kristen, Koa, Katie, just to name a few) ,
• some very interesting animals (koalas, kangaroos, Komodo dragons, kittens)
• some words I like kettle, kerchief, kilt, king, kiss, knight, knave, knoll
• some words I don’t (kayak – don’t ask, it’s a long story)

K is for Kits

You may have noticed my love of craft kits if you’ve been visiting here for long.  Remember these felt cookies or this felt wind-up doll or maybe my own craft kit creation, these yule logs?  As much as I like to invent my own projects and gather up materials, there is something relaxing about buying a kit and knowing that all the pieces and instructions are right there for you.  No more last minute trips to the craft store to pick up something you forgot.

It’s also nice to try out other people’s techniques.  I always walk away having tried something new.  I have a little stash of kits that I keep on hand “just in case” I run out of projects (haha!).  Of course, I could always dig into this next pile.

K is for Knitting

I say knitting here, but I am also thinking about crochet.  I have a big felt basket full of yarn and a jumble of needles.  I am not a year round knitter (nor a particularly accomplished one), but there are certain seasons that just call for a warm, woolly project in front of the TV.

Wow, that sounds so nice right about now.  The rain is picking up.

I leave you with one last koala picture.  (When else would I get to show you these?)  See you next time!
