Warm toes
Still thinking about keeping warm, I’m on a quest for the perfect slippers. My house is carpeted, but it’s over a concrete slab so it can get pretty cold over the winter. I really need something to keep my tootsies toasty.
- Chooka Happy Skull Slipper
- woolenstocks Woogo Slipper Boot
- Simple Underlay Slipper
- Woolrich Chalet Slipper Sock
- Haflinger Dot Flower Boiled Wool Mules
I love the woolenstocks, but then I found out they use real fur… probably bunny fur. Obviously that won’t fly here. Nevermind the fact they cost $106. Nope, that has NOTHING to do with why they aren’t an option. Who knew slippers were so expensive?

As the weather here gets chillier, my thoughts turn to ways to stay warm. I’d like to keep utilities low this winter, so it would be great to find something to wrap up in. Like… these?
- Creamy White Shawl from Las Lopez:
- Sage Green Shawl/Scarf from Irregular Expressions:
- Gray Anatolia Mohair Shawl from Trendy Knitting:
- Mohair Fairytale Shawl from Pia K Stockholm:
- Rococo Shawl II from Tickled Pink Knits:
I guess I need to learn how to knit or crochet… these certainly don’t come cheap. Maybe the utility bill would actually be lower?

I love tools that give you recommendations for things you might like based on books you’ve read, or music you love, or things you’ve purchased. It’s like they somehow have insight into my brain! (Not really, I know). That’s one of the reasons I love to visit Amazon.com’s Recommended for You page… I’m constantly updating my preferences so my recommendations are up to date. What can I say… I’m a weirdo. Anyway, here are the top 10 recommendations for me as of today, 18-Nov:
- For the Kids: Various Artists:
- Toot and Puddle: Let It Snow, by Holly Hobbie:
- Viva La Vida, by Coldplay:
- Little Voice, by Sara Bareilles:
- Toot and Puddle: I’ll Be Home For Christmas, by Holly Hobbie:
- Toot and Puddle: Top of the World, by Holly Hobbie:
- Toot and Puddle: The One and Only, by Holly Hobbie:

Now, what does it say about me that Toot and Puddle feature so prominently in my recommendations? I like pigs, sure. I like children’s books. I love Holly Hobbie’s fantastic illustrations. Hmm. Maybe I really am just a big kid?
