Crochet Water Bottle Cozy

Is it Thursday?  Already!  How?  It is cold and raining today.  I am still snug as a bug in bed, coffee at my side, laptop, and two warm dogs at my feet.  They get along fine, which is a huge relief with two male dogs.  We are working with Dusty on some of his bad habits.  He is a good dog, but he rushes through doors with 100 pounds of eager puppiness, that will knock you to your feet.  We are working on having him sit and stay, until he is asked to come through.  Also on sit and stay at the door when someone comes knocking.  Ducey is not very well behaved in this regard either.    Poor Christopher, our little friend next door.  He is scared to death of the dogs, and is only just now getting comfortable with Ducey and his excitability.  For the past few days, he is visiting through the safety of the picture window in the living room. Maybe this weekend we can help him get to know Dusty a bit.
ANDREA....I don't know how to get in touch with you.  It appears you don't have a blog.  You asked about the water bottle cozy.  Yes, I will be selling these.  I have not yet added them to my Etsy shop, nor have I relisted my Etsy shop, as it needs restocking, but I will put it up.  For a crochet cozy in color of choice, with NO adornments, it will be 25.00.  This will include a three button closure at the bottom for easy removal of bottle.  For a cozy like the one I recently showed, with three flowers and  leaves, the cost will be 40.00.

If you are interested in ordering, leave me a message on my blog.  But I will soon  have my Etsy shop up and running again.  These do keep the hot water well insulated, and prevents you from getting too hot when first filling it, as well as keeping the water hot longer through the night.
I had an order for a earwarmer with a bow on it instead of a flower.  At first I was iffy on it.  But I loved the way it turned out.

It is really cute on!
One of my favorite things about January, is that the oranges on our trees begin to get very ripe and juicy!
There is nothing like freshly squeezed orange juice in the mornings!

It is very cold this morning, and there are some dark clouds blowing in.  They are saying it will be below freezing, and there will be snow on the foothills.

 While in the mountains last weekend, this was how you could most often find me.  NOT a flattering photo that Greg took of me!  NO makeup, but warm with my pink earwarmer with cabbage rose!

There I am....sitting in front of the fire, yarn in hand, my readers on my nose, and more chins that Chinese phone book!!!

Sitting in that chair, right next to a roaring fire, with this at my feet.

 Coming down the mountain the other day, I was snapping away with Greg's camera.  The lake was so beautiful, with sheets of ripply ice all along the edges of the water.  These were taken down by the dam.

Then it was bumper to bumper in the falling snow, driving in and out of the ominous clouds.

And then the flares that alerted the drivers to a closed highway, and diverting us to an alternate route down the hill.

Tomorrow morning I am meeting up with some friends that I met through blogging.  We have been getting together for the past  year or so, and I so enjoy these ladies.  I will be bringing my camera.
Wishing you a cozy day!
