Although, it is now getting dark around tea time here, and the weather has been mostly grey and drizzly, I have found that I am really quite enjoying my cosy evenings indoors...
I love having lots of candles on in the living room...
The wood burner has been lit most evenings, keeping the house really toasty warm...
I have been busy knitting Christmas gifts, in lovely chunky and cosy yarn...
The fairy lights have been on in the kitchen a lot recently, I adore fairy lights and love how atmospheric and inviting they make a room...
It was lovely to settle down together last night when Miss M was in bed with a glass of something nice (wine for me, beer for G). We watched the last part of The Escape Artist...
Cosy evenings are great for working on craft projects, I especially want to knit at the moment...I often feel like this in the colder months. I have quite a few projects on the go to keep me busy, particularly Christmas gifts...
Hope everyone is having a lovely, cosy weekend!

Your home looks so cosy and inviting! I do love to light a few candles myself and snuggle down on the sofa to watch tv. If the lights are off I find I cant see very well to do my crafting.
ReplyDeleteLooks cosy! I used to be a candle maniac but I set fire to a picture frame on the mantelpiece once and have been a bit dubious since but that was 10 years ago and I think it is time to get a few out now. Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cosy home you have, I love to turn off all the lights and just have the Christmas tree lights on (ours went up last week!) There is nothing like dimmed lighting in the evening.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing exactly the same thing as you - snuggling down with fairylights and candles in an attempt to ward off the darkness outside! I watched the Escape Artist too, thought it was pretty good, Hope you enjoyed in!

It looks so cosy. I love your seaside fairy lights.
ReplyDeleteOH looking so cosy! You wood burner is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe knitting looks great, I must dust off my needles xx
Oh such a cosy post, makes me want to get all cosy in your home he he. I am so envious that you have a wood burner, I miss the coal fires I used to have when I was a little girl!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so cosy with the candles. My weekend has been cleaning from top to bottom and placing candles around - getting ready to start the festive decorations. Have a wonderful cosy week xx
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely.

What a lovely, cozy post. I love your wood-burner, it's so compact and cute.
ReplyDeleteAll those warm flames on candles & woodstoves ... your house does look snug! Whenever we put a fire on in our family room, it heats the room SO much that it gets uncomfortable (especially combined with the heat coming off the TV screen) ... so we wait until the really cold winter days arrive. Thanks for your note on my blog ... I'll be keeping an eye out for further news on the swap. Wendy x
ReplyDeletelooks soooooooooooooooo cosy!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect evening! Hubby is just getting our woodburner going, time to pour myself a glass and get out my yarn, too! Cxxx
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so snuggly and welcoming, I love all your candles and the wood burner, and your nautical fairy lights, I have never seen any like that, they are very cute! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautifully comforting and inviting post lovely Marianne - I miss my wood burner from our previous homes - we now have reverse-cycle air conditioning which is very handy but not the same on cold winter nights! Your home shots always look so cosy and happy! Nice to see your knitting there - lovely colour too! Hugs, Joy xo
ReplyDeleteMarianne what a wonderful post, I loved it. I envy you your fire we don't have one here but I adore them and it is the only house I have ever lived in without a real fire. Your lights are gorgeous, I love them too, have them all over the place with even more at Christmas. Thank you for a wonderful post Marianne really loved it, so atmospheric. Have a great week ahead. Big hugs to you

ReplyDeleteOh I would so love a wood burner...yours is gorgeous! Your evening sounded perfect. Sarah xo
ReplyDeleteMay I come and live in your house?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a wood burner. I have not had a real fire place since I was a child.
I am also enjoying the cozy evenings, mostly knitting but a little stitching until the eye get too tired.
I love your blog, thank you for sharing.
Hugs
i love cozy nights in!things are starting to get pretty warm here in melbourne, australia, so this post made me a wee bit jealous xc
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly looks so pretty and cosy and the kind of place you just want to snuggle up and do a spot of crochet or knitting. I am a big fan of fairy lights too, I have them scattered all over the house and I love how they create such a cosy atmosphere. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI envy you the wood burner - I'd love a real fire. And those seaside fairy lights - I want! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cosy evening! :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking wood burning stove (I'm collecting pictures of them for when we move) can't think of a much nicer evening than that.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, they're making me feel all warm and cosy! Beautiful day here today (Tuesday) but on Sunday it didn't ever seem to get light!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, very evocative. Yes, the plus side of the dark evenings is the way you can cosy up with some yarn and be productive. I love your stove by the way! x
ReplyDeleteLucky you with your gorgeous wood burner, I love the ambience a fire fives to a home. We have plenty of fairy lights and candles here in these cold months, makes is super cosy and inviting. I hope we can get a sneak peek at what you are making fir Christmas gifts. I always have a crochet and knitting project on the go at the same time, its good for swapping if I get bored! Marianne I am not sure what your email is as we will need to swap addresses sometime soon for our decoration swap? Would you be able to email me at violetsandvelvet@gmail.com when you have a moment? Many thanks, its great fun going a little swap before Christmas xox keep enjoying your cosy nights in xox Penny
ReplyDeletePs. Sorry about all the typos I am using my phone and my fingers often touch the wrong letter :o)
