From here on out...

Thanksgiving break was ah-mazing....full of good food....time with family....crafting....dancing....train rides....

and can you believe.....NO CAMERA!!!

Now that we are on the eve of December....my nights will be looking more and more like this :)




Stay tuned for holiday crafting madness!!

A hat for Grandma!

This year my grandmother turned 80, and I have never known her better! She has always lived a state over and I only saw her on holidays, but now she has moved close by! I see her everyday, I get to enjoy her stories, find out things she loves (patent leather shoes!), and give her hugs only a granddaughter can :)

During a recent conversation she said she needed a warm winter hat.....and I thought of a recent ravelry.com find that would be perfect for her! I described it and her face lit up..."you would make that for me?"

well, yes, and I did :)



Happy Birthday Grandma!

(and thanks to Cathrine over at YarnKat)

Halloween Inspiration!!

Its my favorite time of year :) Halloween!! Here is a sneak peek at costumes already in progress.....

(of course I have two costumes, one scary for Friday....one cutesy for Saturday)




Can you guess what they may be??

Still in need of yellow galoshes, blue spray paint, 20's style hat, and an orange striped turtle neck!

Kiddo can't make up his mind....




Who knows....he may end up being ninja-batman!

What do you all have planned??
