Sweet and simple Sunday

It has been one of those Sundays. Where you just enjoy the moment. Little things like a clean home, fresh sheets on the bed, and the smell of something baking in the oven. That's when I let out a big ..Ahhhh. 

The knitting mojo was a bit laxed this week. Thankfully it wasn't completely gone. Worked just a bit on my socks. Maybe it's the heat, but it is slow going in the knitting department right now.

Or maybe it is the dreams of Fall and Winter, which isn't helped along by the new KnitPicks Catalog that came in the mail. How I love me some gray and white!

The heat here in Arizona hasn't stopped me from cranking on the oven. I made this insanely good soul- filling casserole. The creamed sweet corn  put me off at first, but I am telling you this is a must try. Thanks Mom for the recommendation!

Even with the knowledge of a  Monday on the horizon, this Sunday has been sweet. I will leave you by sending you away to be inspired by some amazing projects and things around the web. Enjoy and I hope you have a wonderful week!

• Love this post from Raina.
• These brought back so many memories of my youth. The adult version looks just as exciting as the ones I carried around in my kid purse.  
• Ruth's blanket has helped me find my desire to finish up older WIPS.
• Feeding my love of knitted socks, Jesse knit up these beauties.  
• Great way to start of a Year of Socks, Bethany!
• How about some shawl love? Maryse's is knit up in the most lovely grey. Sam's Citron is knit up in one of my new favorite dyer's yarn. Yum!

SO love these socks...and the dish looks de-lish.
It is so hot in Montucky all I have energy for these days are tomato sandwiches.
Thanks for all the great links- awesome inspiration.

Just got that same catalog yesterday and was absolutely taken with the cover!

The socks are very cute so far :) I'm loving the pink and the waffle pattern. Knit Picks sent out a new catalog? Darn. I'm going to have to be strong and toss it out! Great links as always. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday...

[Audry]

Gosh, you always have such great links to share. I especially like the year in socks post. (I'll bet that if you did the year in socks, you'd be done in 3 months.)

I don't know how you get to find all these amazing blogs. Thanks for the links!

[DonaKnits]

[Kepanie]

I still use the oven even though it's a hot day also. That blueberry cake looks so yummy. I had to Pin that.
What a summer pink. I like the waffle like st that's goin' on in it.

I forgot all about the lip gloss in the tin container. I believe mine was a strawberry flavored. I'm sure you could smell it from blocks away. We used to buy the Bonnie Bell lip gloss also. I remember the Bubblegum flavor being a big hit. I used to buy the choclate and cherry tubes and wear them both at once. I wonder how many pounds of this stuff we've ingested over the years.

[Maryse]

You do have great taste in yarn and patterns... and food! It looks so yummy! Thanks for linking to my shawlette! Isn't it cute? It's more of a light brown than grey. Everybody seems to think it's grey, you're not the only one ;-) Have a great week Andi!

[lori]

I made that casserole, too & my family loved it! I love reading about your projects and the extras here, too are great. Lip Smackers. Hadn't thought of those since I was little!
