Wordless Wednesday- Christmas has Begun!

Wordless Wednesday- Baby Kurtz in 3D

Fantastic French Fries at Home

A tip I took from Rachel Ray took my fries from baked yummy to baked out of this world! Instead of using a sheet pan, bake them on a pizza stone! Crispy crunchy and done in 30 minutes!

These are just cut red potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt and Adobo. flipped them at 15 minutes and gobbled them up in roughly 2 minutes :)

I almost ate my DH's half.

Warning this will change the way you make french fries!!!

Hand Stamped Tags for Crochet Items

Finally a crochet stamp!!! When I saw this ball of yarn from cupcaketree on etsy that came customized I had to have it! Why should the knitters be the only ones to have yarny fun?!

I whipped up these tags last night with a Creative Memories punch and some of my existing stamps (my website stamp is from Creative Memories too). I love them and they'll be a perfect extra touch for my craft fair crochet goodies this season. First show is at the Plattsburgh State Field House- Saturday and Sunday 10-5 in Plattsburgh NY. Let the fun begin!

Fingerless Gloves

As the weather starts turning chilly my crochet hook and I become best friends again.
Lately I've been working on these fingerless gloves.
For my fellow hookers these are just granny squares closed off (and a hole left for your thumb). It takes roughly an hour to whip up a pair and they are super cute if I do say so myself. The pairs you see in the pic are now at yellow boutique but fear not more are coming soon!

A Warmer Neck

I've been SLOWLY finishing this Cowl for what may be forever. Done on a Knifty Knitter with Homespun yarn I think I'll be a bit warmer this winter.

Materials:
Long rectangle Knifty Knitter (done on 1 side)
1 Skein Homespun Yarn
Crochet Hook (to join together the 2 sides)

Have you recently tackled any projects that found their way to the bottom of your list??

News and a Dressed Up Treat

Sorry for the lapse between blogs. A lot has happened since we last spoke- most importantly my husband and I are now expecting! We are 11 weeks along! Advice from any Mommies is VERY welcomed!

Speaking of Mom's - my Mom and I went to a Scrap Book Expo and saw a cute idea for dressing up Tic Tacs done by Stampin Up .

I think these would be great for a baby shower- put on some baby theme paper and decorate with cute baby buttons and ribbon. These just might be at my shower!
