Fun Monday # 103 Winter Warmers

Our hostess this week is Gattina.
She is very brave as she wants to see what we wear on our feet. I cannot bring myself to show you the tatty old indoor shoes I wear in the winter. I vowed to replace them this year but haven't seen anything I particularly like.
As you may know it's been very cold here in the UK this year so I've worn thick socks inside my old shoes to keep my tootsies warm. I have these blue fluffy socks and a purple pair.



Well that about it for me.......Ok I know you are curious so I'll let you peep..

I'll be around later to see what the best dressed feet wear!

love the bed socks, my granny used to knit them or me, wish I still had some!
I loved my knotted bedsocks but the disintergrated many years ago!
Oooops I mean knitted and they.
I obviously can't hold two conversations and type at the same time!
Knitted one looks good. I see you had a wonderful V day over the weekend! :)
I LOVE the bedsocks too...so cute!
Happy Fun Monday...
Those bed socks look so warm and comfy!!!
Happy Fun Monday.
Sock it to me!
Wow, free socks from airlines??? I never knew any of them did that. Then again, I haven't flown commercial in close to 20 years, so I'm sure there's alot I don't know about!
And do not throw out your old comfy clog-things! Around the house, comfort is the most important thing and if they're comfy, then KEEP THEM...paint splotches and all!
First Chris, thanks for sharing your vacation photos from Ireland--makes all us wannabe Irish homesick! And, Embee--nice touch guy--what a sentimental, unexpected Valintine's gift for your sweetie!
About those bedsocks--I'm not a knitter, but I found this great blog that has wonderful knitting patterns--very unusual designs like a teacup cozy. The woman who writes it is an artist and the blog is just plain cool. Hope my link works:

I've seen similar socks to your bed socks on sale at Christmas time -
I haven't knitted since I was in grade school.
how about this website? The whisper ones look snuggly and easy. Well easy for someone who can knit, not for me, obviously.
Sam I did see some of those patterns when I was searching but not the Chenille one I might try those.
Faye thank you for the link I will take a look.
It's good to be comfortable, especially at home. I never heard of free socks from an airline!
I'd forgotten about flight socks! I have a pair somewhere for memories.
The bed socks look wonderful on a cold night! I don't think I'd ever take them off!
I've never seen those flight socks before. I did once get a free package of condoms on a flight to Thailand.
I've never seen bedsocks before - except for baby booties (which look quite similar).
I have some fluffy pink socks too - and they are cozy warm.
Oh those chenille socks look lovely...hint hint!
Have no shame in wearing the last ones you showed - the worn ones are the best and like you, I would not throw them out.
the first socks look very cozy!! I had a pair of bed socks just like that...my Nana knitted them for me!! I wonder what happened to them..
Your footwear around the house has a variety that mine definitely lacks!
Methinks if I lived where you do I'd wear similar things on my feet to stay warm ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Oh you just reminded me of yet another failure of mine lately! I have not forgotten your sock pattern (I have not had time to type it out! Maybe I will just photocopy it and post it! It will probably get there quicker! Sorry! Will try and redeem myself and send it along!) Hugs xxxx
Karisima Please don't think I was hinting at you I know just how hectic your household is so please don't worry.
beccy you don't need to hint :)
Those knitted socks are so cute! I have never heard of free flight socks, but then again I have never flown on BA.
i cannot wear socks when they have holes....i'm weird that way! my boys (and hubby) have no problem with holes tho ;)
i love your slippers. anything comfy (paint splotches or not) are worth keeping! :)
