Frosting Makes Everything Better



The older I get the more I believe that every aspect of your day, and your life should be special and magical--maybe not to everyone, but to you. I'm also done with feeling the need to explain my wacky ways. Why does a 43 year old like cupcakes, unicorns, rainbows and fun bright colors? Because they make me happy, dammit! I don't know who decided that after a certain age people should stop having fun, should stop enjoying things they've loved their whole lives, and stop believing in magic.

P.S. I have no idea what age "people of a certain age" is. No one tells you this in the "grown up rules", there is just some inexplicable edict that after a certain age you should stop doing [fill in the blank]. I usually ignore theses rules.

One of my personal rules is that everything is better with buttercream frosting. My favorite yarn colors are often candy and birthday cake colors. My latest socks remind me of perfect, yummy
petits fours. 

I LOVE this yarn from Barking Dog Yarns. It's from their Opposites Attract collection. They pair two yarns together that are essentially opposite colorways. So cute. It's lovely yarn to knit with. Very soft.
Don't you just want to eat them up with a spoon? I added a little hemmed picot cuff for a dainty top.
Heaven knows, I need help to achieve dainty whenever I can.

When life gives you lemons, wear comfy beautiful socks and have a huge piece of yummy cake! They'll always get you through.

Wishing you peace, love & wool,
Heather
