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!

Two for Me, One for Sally

One of the items I bought at the recent LLK sale was a book called One Skein. It's a great book! There are 30 projects in the book and most do seem like quick knits. For example, a knitting friend of mine had a birthday coming up and I wanted to knit her something special (and quick). The book had a lot to offer - I finally deceided on the Felted Bowls. I always wanted to try some and knew I had some Lopi in my stash to pick from. These bowls were a really quick knit and fun. Will do again for sure!

I ended up making three and here are the bowls before felting,

and here they are after. (tried to get the same angle…)

For Sally's I filled it with some Lavender scented potpourri.

Happy Birthday Sally!
