Homemade Vanilla!!

Pinterest made me do it!!! Three vanilla beans (sliced down the center) $10 AND a 375ml of Vodka @ $8. Place in a cool dark pantry for @ three months, shaking bottle once a week ! Let's see what we have, will it be as good as the awesome Mexican Vanilla I finally ran out of from the last Cancun trip?!?


Stay tuned ;-)

Crochet Wreath Time

I used bulky yarn an crochet around a styrofoam ring. I want to add some bells or pinecones to it, so it is not finished yet. Of course, I got this idea from "Pinterest". And if you haven't been to this website, well first let me warn you, it causes 'Addiction' !!!

And yet a little more knitting

The color work Wrist Warmers are moving slowly, just now starting the thumb. Well there are two reasons that these are not getting done :::::


Here is the first reason....


Once I finished Konrad's Scarf, I had to have one too! Mine is done in Baby Alpaca and has tiny gold flecks in it. This is so soft and heavenly to wear ;-)

Now reason #2: Someone wanted a white Beanie Hat!!


Check out the crown! It was very easy and fun to make this hat.



You will have to excuse all the funny business going on in the background ;-)

Now I must get back to my sewing to finish projects for the upcoming Bazaar, December 2nd and 3rd. Come check it out in Star!

Doing some knitting

These will growing up to be a pair of fingerless gloves or arm warmers. I gave you a picture with and without flash, you get to decide which colors you like best! Hehe


Notice the cute bobbles on the edge? Those were not fun to start with but did turn out great!


Here is the magazine photo, fun huh!! The pattern is from Interweave Knits Fall 2007.
Now my question to you is 'How do I post this on Pinterest?'



Below is the dark grey and silver scarf that I knit for my son for his 20th Birthday! Loved the easy 4 row pattern that I found on ravelry.


He Likes to Model also ;-))
