The Blush List - Cozy Sunday

Knitting // My yarn needs a new cozy home like this knit basket.
Crochet // Here is another beautiful example of the Dottie Angel inspired crochet blanket that I've been itching to make. I mean, look at it. This blanket has to be made. I love the cozy colors Coco Rose Textiles used for the flowers. I need to decide when I actually have time to start such a time consuming project. I guess that's the nice thing about granny square blankets, you just take it one square at a time. 
Etsy // Earlier this week I had a little twitter chat about my obsession with notebooks...and post-its...and paper products in general. I was happy to see so many of you share this obsession. I try to stay away from cute notebooks nowadays because I don't want to mess up the cuteness with my scribbles. However, these notebooks from Mossery make me want to break my rule...
Style // The House of Maryann lookbook is filled with fall fashions I would love to wear as I sip a cup of tea. ;)
Art // I love this colorful coffee cup print by Sandra Juto.
Food // Mmm. A nice slice of strawberry banana bread on a Sunday afternoon sounds perfect.


It is a cozy Sunday afternoon with grey skies and light rain drops hitting the ground outside my window. I am always a bit happier when the clouds cover the sky. Is that weird? Rainy days, especially rainy Sundays, are just so calming before a busy week ahead.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I worked on some projects, ventured out to McKinney again (I can't get enough of the downtown area!) and enjoyed a little relaxing.

I think tomorrow would be my first day of classes if I was still in school. Crazy. Things are changing...for the better, I hope. :)

Enjoy the rest of your day!

  5. Those notebooks are so darling, oh my goodness! I can relate to not wanting to "spoil" a cute notebook though, I have several that are just too pretty to use!

  10. If you love stationary and paper products, you should check out Il Papiro. It is a paper company based in Florence Italy (or Firenze Italia if you want to be Italian). They have handmade paper notebooks and cards. They do have stores in Palm Springs and New York and I think that they ship to the U.S.

    As always, loving your blush list.
    Blessings, Shonda
