Recipe For Life

If you know me and as you can probably tell by my blog contents, I enjoy recipes. I recently read an article that talked about leading a happy, stressless, productive life (or at least close). It listed several items that should be on everyone's "to do list" every single day. What a great idea. I have borrowed that concept and tweaked it to be what I call my "recipe for life".

Everyday I want to:

1. Do something for someone else.
2. Do something for me.
3. Do something that I don't want to do that needs doing.
4. Do a physical exercise.
5. Do a mental exercise.
6. Do an original prayer that always includes thanksgiving for my blessings.

Can life be lived by this "recipe"? I'm certainly going to try. I believe this recipe will improve my days, and those days will quickly add up to a life.

Instructions For Toast Arm Warmers

Materials Needed:
* 1 Skein Soft Yarn (I bought a 100 yd skein and did not use all of it-depends on needle size and stitch length
* Size 7 circular needles (I bought the "turbo" needles. A bit pricey but I love them!)

1. Cast on 34 stitches. Divide equally on circular needles using the "magic loop" method.
2. Join for knitting in the round. Knit for 11 inches
3. Bind off and weave in ends.

See! You can make them!

Cinnamon Toast Arm Warmers

I just completed my first set of arm warmers and was immediately rewarded with a VERY cold day to wear them. We had another snow day this week and temperatures dropped to the single digits. Here is a picture of my completed arm warmers that I am calling "cinnamon toast".
