Today is one of those delightful after Christmas down days. One of the days when not much is happening and I’m pottering – tidying up, doing laundry, ironing, cajoling (aka threatening with a fate worse than death) teenagers to write their thank you letters, knitting, reading. Nothing big or momentous or more stressful than breaking up the odd bit of teenage argy-bargy. The catering has all been done, parties enjoyed and New Year is still a couple of days away – and we don’t do anything very spectacular then anyway!

I can’t tell you how much I love days like today. I’m an inveterate pottering home body – and if truth be told, days like today, when I coax everyday life back into some semblance of order, make me very happy. I love the feeling of peaceful contentment and small steps generally going in the right direction.

Over Christmas I finished my Sunshine Socks, but didn’t get round to blogging about them. I’m so pleased with how they turned out. They are insanely soft and cosy and the pattern is gorgeous!

The pattern is by Cookie A and the yarn is Alice Sock by Juno Fibre Arts.

If I’ve counted correctly this is sock finish number 8 of 2011. I’ve just kept plodding along with socks this year – and that makes me think that 12 in 2012 is perfectly do-able.

Well, that’s your lot for today I guess. There’s nothing more to report and I’m off to make a cup of tea.

Life here is good. I hope it is at your house too!
