Thread and Ink Chritmas Cards

Why is it every year I get these ideas way too late?


Oh well, 'tis the season, right?!


These holiday cards have been fun to do and I plan to make more of these, "Thread and Ink Designs," after the New Year. Some for me and for Knitterella!

I'm signing off 'til after the Holidays. Work is busy, busy and I'm ready to spend some quality time with my friends and family. When I get back I'll be looking forward to showing some of the gifts I've made that I haven't gotten time to show you yet.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and peace and goodwill in 2008! - best wishes, Knitterella

Halloween Tricks!

Happy Halloween!I wanted to send some Halloween wishes your way and I also have a Halloween trick to share. I think about this one every Halloween - it always cracks me up!

Back in college one of my best guy friends came up with a simple yet hilarious Halloween prank. I was hosting a party and he came over with a dozen beautiful carmel apples to pass. I tried one and they were so good - I couldn't believe he made them himself! They looked perfect too. Later, another friend took a bit of one and immediately spit it out. YUCK! It was an ONION!

I thought mixing in a couple carmel onions to the apples was brilliant. Good clean fun you know what I mean? I mean really, the onions looked just like the apples. (so glad I didn't bit into an onion - I hate raw onion!)

So if you want a fun Halloween dish to pass you should give this trick a try!

Do you have any fun Halloween tricks to share? I'd love to hear about them!

If you are wondering the pillow in the picture is one that my mom made for me a couple years ago. I just love this pillow. She made it up as she went along and I love the way it turned out.

Hope to have some project progress to show you soon!
