Vegan Coon "Skin" Cap

Now you can be a king of the wild frontier.

Simple Peacock Earrings

Woot! Lookie here: 10 Beautiful & Free Crochet Earrings Patterns in Thread!

Need a quick and easy gift? I made a pair of these earrings in less than two hours and that included the time it took to de-coffee the inset glass topped coffee table after Weezer knocked over my cup.

These earrings may look like a million bucks but they are easy to make from inexpensive supplies.

Sparkling Snowflake

Every year I like to make ornaments to add to the bows of the Christmas gifts I give.

The wrapping paper I chose this year is silver metallic with rainbow snowflakes so a snowflake ornament was the obvious choice.

A note on December birthdays

Being a December baby, only 8 days before Christmas, people often don't know how to act on my birthday. 

This year I want to speak out on how to treat your friends with December birthdays.

Caution...A Head

Okay, sorry about the bad joke. I am a juggler so bad humor comes naturally to me.

Still have that N hook from some of the past projects? Pull that sucker out, this and another hat I will post soon use it.

 During the holiday season people on the road seem to be preoccupied. That is why I am so happy that I found Hobby Lobby's I <3 This Yarn NEONS! I made this cute hat from it to give me a little more visibility when I am out on my daily walks.

Pomegranate

Long time no post. I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. My husband and I had a blessed one, we are lucky enough to live in the same town as both of our sets of parents and my husband's grandmother. We had a lovely vegetarian meal.

This pomegranate is super simple and quick. I have been meaning to sit down and write this pattern down for a month now but Christmas gifts and custom orders have been keeping my fingers busy. 

Tiny Turkey Leg

Just a little pattern today. I know it is a busy week for everyone but you may be able to squeeze in time to work on this amigurumi, I did.

Romantic Cuffs

Christmas and the winter holidays are fast approaching and my fingers have been in overdrive. I have been making shawls for family and blanket and hat sets for friend's children. Today I needed a break to make something pretty for me. 

These romantic cuffs were partly inspired by the lovely Half Moon Shawls by Lion.

Cream Puff

I have sweets on the mind since I skipped my cupcake day. I have major cookie baking to do tomorrow for a belated Halloween party and I know I will be checking all the batches for "poison" so I didn't think I needed a cupcake today.

A little tiny cream puff that won't ruin your diet.

Amigdalota

Ever year a local Greek Orthodox church puts on a Greek Food Festival. This year it fell on the day of my physical so it was a good excuse to go as a reward for not screaming and running out of the doctors office. I must report the stunning result of my blood tests, perfect in all fields. I had the right amount of vitamins, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Yay me! Back to the fest- my husband and I always get a piece or two of spanakopita and tiropita. And what is a Greek celebration without pastries? We splurged and each got a lovely piece of baklava.

Another favorite Greek treat of mine is Amigdalota. It is a melt in your mouth cookie made with almonds. I particularly like the ones with candied cherries on top.
