Listening to Music and Drinking Coffee

  I like to try to recreate a coffee house aura in my own kitchen. Right now, it's French Provincial with a white and blue as the main colors with warm woods and punches of reds. Part of that aura is music you can groove or listen to. This video is one of my favorite short instrumentals and very jazzy. It's Phil Collins with his tune "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning." Depending on the mood that strikes me, I may begin with jazz or classical and end with some rock and roll before I get my day started. The song above is a great representation of how coffee makes me feel as the caffeine begins course through my veins. Since caffeine and coffeehouses are being linked to creativity, here's a few more pieces I can't seem to live without lately during my coffee sessions.

Coffee Cozies!

   I have noticed something recently, there are a lot of coffee cozies out there! Why not? Your favorite joe from your local coffeehouse may still be hot to the touch when you carry it! The patterns are pretty simple to put together, even for novice sewers. And if you can knit or crochet, why not make a statement with your very own design? Here is a pattern and a few inspiring photos!
