I love my camera because I can point it at a tiny corner of our nest and make it look 'put together' - like the dwelling is all cute and decorated. Ha! Nothing can be further from reality. I make the corners pretty so that the mess around me does not drive me crazy. The painters were here a couple of days ago and painted the rooms under construction and I can finally envision what things might look like - hopefully before Christmas!!I was insanely busy this past week but in all the mayhem managed to squeeze in a 'non-cooking' class, otherwise known as the 'raw food experiment' around here. This escapade into a completely different style of cooking (or un-cooking, depending how you see it) has already produced a Vita-mix blender that cost more than a mortgage payment. I am taking the crackers and breads class next week using a dehydrator!! Ahem! I am really scared I am starting to resemble my father who has every possible appliance a human being can procure.
...and, finally, I did finish a pair of socks and I love them! They are knit from koigu yarn and fit like a glove. Now I need to start another project...I have some pink cashmere....quite a bit of it. Hmmmm!! What to do?

I am always so intrigued about raw eating. I do try to incorporate it as much as I can, a little daily.
I saw these photos on Flickr and they really pulled me right into the room. Absolutely divine.
Your remark about your father made me laugh! My husband is like that. We call him Mr. Gadget. I'd much rather peel and core an apple the old fashioned way, but even though I have all the gadgets [because he bought them!]they sit in the drawer while I use my trusty paring knife!
finished socks and pink cashmere...really what more does a girl need!
I'd be interested to know how the raw food works out. I find I prefer comfort foods this time of year, soups and such. As for the cashmere, pullovers and cardigans are always lovely. Your little corners look quite inviting.
I'm a huge 'cozy-corner' person. If I'm not outside, I'm usually nested into a corner somewhere so I totally appreciate your corner nook. :)
Is that a snugly sheepskin?
Love, love, love your socks!
Love your cosy corners!!
You can never have too many kitchen appliances:)My current fave is a slow cooker.
Your corners definitely look perfect. And I have to agree with Lisa -- you can never have too many appliances LOL. LOVE your pretty new socks -- is koigu machine washable?
A Vita-Mix... ooo....I've been wanting one of those for ages! And you're not far from the truth there on how much they cost either--LOL! We've experimented a good bit with raw eating. During the summer it's nice. But come autumn/winter we're wanting real cooked food--LOL! Glad there's progress being made here with the decorating/home improvement. Having just finished up some painting/wallpapering here, I know how you feel! LOVE seeing your cozy corners of home--how stylish you have it there! Your striped socks are lovely... And soo is your kitty. Happy weekend, my friend :o) ((HUGS))
i like that light that comes in to your room. it´s getting darker and darker here in the north. and colder and colder. that kind of socks would be good here too;)
I had no idea you were interested in raw foods! I've been involved off and on with raw foods for about six years and I'm even hosting a raw vegan potluck next weekend. Too bad we aren't neighbors! :) Good luck on your experiment. I've never felt better in my life than when I've been really diligent about a high percentage of raw foods in my diet.
And a beautiful corner it is! I hope that your rennovations are going smoothly. I can't wait to see more corners.
I'll take the chair where Tencents' is lounging - if he'll let me :) Maybe we can share!
Your socks are perfect for Fall ~ and they will keep your toes warm and cozy this Winter as well!
Not overly sold on the raw food concept yet....keep us informed of what you learn!
If I had lots of pink cashmere.... I might knit a simple but elegant pullover sweater.
Lovely images as usual and I like the color of your new pair of socks! You are one step ahead of me in finding any space that can look put together! It's been a tough few weeks for work and the scatter in my brain comes out as scatter in my living space too. Things need to slow down so I can pick up!
I love the camera for the same reason. I hope everything is done for you before Christmas and your socks look cute and cosy!
gorgeous socks and gorgeous white rugs... well, looks like your home is all lovely to me!!!
Yes, what kind of furry bed is Tencents snoozing on?
I have a gadget lover here, too. Sometimes I wonder how we manage to have any countertop space at all. lol
Great socks and I love your cat, curled up in a comfortable place - basking in the sunshine!
I like seeing the corners, especially your cat who is gorgeous! Love the socks.
I love knitted socks. Beautiful shots.
Your camera is so pretty. Your photos always look amazing.
I don't know if I could do raw food. Except hummus. I like hummus. Is that cooked?
Such a BEAUTIFUL little corner!!! I love it. The cat is just divine.
love your socks, had to look twice to see the cat and find the concept of un-cooking intriguing.
