You could probably improvise and figure out a way to have these little bears hugging a red heart for Valentine's Day presents. Complete tutorial here. I would just use a shortbread recipe.

Sweaters for Injured Penguins
These imaginative sweaters were knitted by Australia's oldest man who is 109 years old. Don't you love them? And him? He's been knitting since he was 30! Read story here.
How long does it take to master a craft? How about 80 years? Because 109-year-old Australian Alfred Date has been knitting since the 1930s and his latest/most famous endeavor was making mini sweaters… for endangered penguins!
Back in 2013, Victoria’s Phillip Island Penguin Foundation asked for volunteers to make sweaters for the rare “little penguins.” Alfie, who has yet to learn to say no, pitched in. Knitted penguin jumpers play an important role in saving little penguins affected by oil pollution.
Father to 7, grandparent to 20, he’s not only been an active knitter, but also a sportsman, having played golf till his 90’s.
His secret for longevity? “Waking up every morning”. See, he’s a joker, too!

Cannot Imagine This
It looks very cozy inside and I love the light from the windows. Have you ever seen so many stars? I want to know more about this amazing photograph. I won't complain about the snow ever again. See you in the morning. Sleep tight. xo
Such a Beautiful Cake
I love this cake decorated with a squirrel and his hazelnuts.
I wonder what the cutout is made of that it can be eaten raw. Caramel? I want that cookie cutter! via
Yum. Devil's food cake with white icing. My favorite!

It was very warm today and a lot of my snow melted. I have about as much as the photo above. It was nice to be able to take a long walk with Webster in slushy snow without the layer of ice on top. The weather people say more is coming but I'm not worried. Enjoy Downton Abbey and Grantchester tonight on PBS. I'll be watching too. xo via
