I went to Webs and got some of my favorite yarn to make myself 2 bags for myself. This is cascade 220 and is very soft felting yarn. I make my knap sack pocketbooks.

HERE IS A CUTE CHRISTMAS TREE HAT that I found on our sweaters group. This one is for Jackson and I have to make another one for Lauren. This was alot of fun for me to make and I am looking forward to making more for next year. Christmas is almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a beautiful
warm hat I made
for my sweatheart.
He has waited for this
since last winter. All
other knit projects
came first. I know this
will keep him warm this
winter!!!!!

MY FIRST CUTE BABY KIMONO!!!!! I made this for a friend for her grandaugher's christening.

Here is the school bus scarf. Lots of fun to do this one. I expect I will be making more of these in the next years. This one is for my cousin who is a retired school teacher. She will get this at Christmas this year.

The hooded cardigan is done for
Jackson. It turned out alittle
bigger, but he will grow into it.

Here is my Christmas tree for this year. I decided to do a little forest. I have a mommy and 3 babies! I love the county look this gives.

SNOW STORM EVERYWHERE

Hi !!!! This has been a rough week with weather. Knitting has been on everyones plate along with getting ready for the holidays. I will be posting a picture or 2 today or tomorrow of the complete white hood sweater . I have to get buttons at walmart. Coming soon!!! Keep warm and safe.

VANILLA THUMBPRINTS

I made these cookies and would love to share the recipe with you all. Here it is:



3/4 cups butter softened
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
rasberry or apricot jam


Heat oven to 350. Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Cream to lite and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Add flour.

Roll 2 teaspoons of dough between your hands to a 1 inch circle. Space 2 inches apart, moisted your thumb with water and make an indent into the dough. Make it wide enough so the jam does not mealt out. Fill with jam, bake about 10-12 min. until lightly golden.

Mittens, Mittens, Mittens

I made these mittens with different yarns that I had in my stash. I added some moehair to the white and black ones. The moehair adds softness to the mitten and I hope warmth.

ENGAGED

Here we are and we have finally decided to get married. Wedding is set for July 5, 2008!!!!! We have had fun thinking about a back yard wedding with a sit down dinner elsewhere. I will keep you posted with up coming plans. He is the love of my life!

Here is the sweater I just finished for Lauren for Christmas. This sweater is great because it knits up quickly .My daughter Tina lives in Baldwinsville, N.Y. and every fall we go to a knitting store near her and she picked the yarn for this. It is a ella rae 100% wool . The pattern is from coldwater called Tulips. Again, this sweater was a dream compared to the white hooded sweater for my grandson that is almost done. I have to sew it together and I will post it. That too will be beatiful, but took more time to knit.
