Wonderful Weekend...

So this weekend started with a box of delicious cookies. I made a trip to Trader Joe's. It's been awhile since I've shopped the unique food items so I thought i'd stop in to see what there seasonal items were on display. I bought these cookies and they are delicious!

and also bought these Pumpkin Spice herbal blend tea. I am trying this today! A great afternoon beverage... oh and of course with the cookies!

my kids think they are funny... we were out to dinner at Luna's Pizzaria, my favorite family italian restaurant in clovis!

I put all of these lovely colored yarns in my basket... then I sat, looked at them to see what I could make. Well, I made some wristwarmers. I love color!

These are my Fiesta Fingerless Gloves. They were really easy to make but yes, needed a lot of yarn colors. I love them! So bright and cherry! A thought... make them yourself, click here for the pattern! So, you don't want to buy all of the yarn colors... click here for the pattern kit!

Then I thought of course I will make a pattern to load in my Etsy shop, and then thought... it would be hard to buy all of these yarn color skeins so I created a Crochet Pattern Kit. I will send all of the yarn needed along with the pattern. Pretty clever I might add.

Time for a break, I made some queso for my family to enjoy.... yes it was yummy! Of course it was a Pioneer Woman recipe. I just love her easy recipes... so tasty! You can find it here.

Doesn't it look delicious! It was.

Then I made another pair of fingerless gloves with my yarn selections. I love these colors too! Again, they are cheery!

I even love the snippets of yarn from the projects I made. I may put these in a large jar just to admire my hard work!

So now I am working on a camouflage beanie to add to my shop. So happy Monday you all! And don't forget to enter my giveaway listed here on my blog! Ends tomorrow!

Finished My Cabled Gloves...

Cable Knitted Fingerless Gloves

 

I made these last week and absolutely love them! They fit snuggly and keep my hands really warm! I thought the cable pattern would take a long time but no... it didn't! I like the fact that these gloves have ribbing at the top so the fit is really great! I have had a few friends asking for a pair! Next project to start today... a Hot Water Bottle Cover. My problem is finalizing on the style and patterns that I will use... Have a wonderful week everyone!

Link Parties I posted too... come join in the fun!

  

What have your made for Valentine's? Please post here!

Happy Friday!

Hello.  I left this blog and was updating my Wordpress blog and then last night, I decided to go back to Blogger. So many tools that are easy to use! Well, here I am! And, Happy Friday!

So I decided to try making homemade pretzels last night. They don't look very good but they are delicious! The recipe is from the Food Network Magazine. I love that magazine, love to cook, and bake! I usually make a couple of recipes from every issue. Love it! It gave me a little break from Knitting.


I have been searching stores for a Hot Water Bottle. I was planning on knitting a cover sleeve for it but cannot seem to find one anywhere! Why not? Drove me crazy last night. When I need something... I hope to just run to the store and pick buy it. Guess not! Checking one more store today after mailing some customer items. Wish me good luck! I did finish some Knitted Cable Gloves the other day. I love them!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I am planning on working more on my blog, knitting, baking something and cooking a really good meal. Does anyone have any ideas for a good Saturday night dinner meal to make? I am open for suggestions!  


Happy Friday!
