It's pumpkin time!!!!


Pumpkin pumpkin and more pumpkin. I get so excited about this time of the year for one reason. Well ok 2 reasons. Pumpkin spice frapachinnos from Starbucks, and my pumpkin cranberry bread. While I am a far cry from being Betty Crocker, I do enjoy cooking/baking. However, I must admit it that there are only a few items that I cook/bake well. This is one of them...... My pumpkin cranberry bread. I was a baking fool today and made 4 loaves of it. Between the bread and my pumpkin candle, my house was smelling soooooo good. Did i mention how much I love pumpkin. :0)

Hippoty Hop..It's bunny time


I am in a bunny group here on Ravelry and we had our first bunny swap. We were paired with fellow bunny owners and had to get a package together not only for the owner, but also for the bunny. Jackson and I were paired with a bunny named Mozart. Mozart was a brown bunny with some white on the underside of his tail. I thought that I would get Kendall (bunnie's mom) some knitting needles and stitch markers with Mozart on them. So I contacted Jillian who has a business called Weeones. Jillian makes all different kinds of stitch markers and needles. There are many many animal stitch markers, as well as other "themed" ones. I have ordered from Jillian 2 times now and love the results. These bunny ones were a special order that Jillian did for me. I simply described Mozart to Jillian and she put her magic together and came up with these. Jillian is awesome and her work speaks for itself. So if anyone is in need of some really cool stitchmarkers/knitting needles Weeones is the place to go to.

No I am not British


Meet Sir Tigger von Yorkshire. He is a project that I had to do for a swap partner. He is going all the way to England so I figured that he had to have a regal name. So I decided to give him his fitting name. I am really happy about how he turned out. He was rather easy and quick to complete. I used Lamb's Pride yarn and a size 7 needle. I hope that Sir Tigger makes it to his new home all the way to England. I for-see more knitted kitties in the near future.
