I made my two closest friends at work wrist warmers for the holidays. I used the pattern in Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It's a fun easy pattern - i like knitting a 2x2 rib and this one kind of spirals. I was told that they fit well. I made each from one skein too with just a tiny bit left.
p.s. she's having a boy!
Happy New Year from crafty blogging in Snowmass!

cafe crafty and everything pink
p.s. Linda had to run so fast because of the timer on the camera that she's just a little bit blurry...but it was a fun night...
The Boy also ordered two of these super cute sweater votive candles from Anthropologie. They are so cute when lit. We both love the idea that objects need sweaters.
The Boy has been good to me this hannukah with lots of cool crafty items. Yesterday he gave me two sampler packs of japanese fabric from Fabric Tales. The fabircs are so remarkably gorgeous I can't believe they have to come from so far away. I am so excited to have them.
...these books are off to a magazine...let's hope they get included!
This papier mache snowman came from New York. He's really fabulous. Each of the parts is like a little paper bead threaded onto that string on top - so he kind of wiggles. It's really cute! We were all quite impressed around here...
From Santa Fe - a hand beaded star - really pretty. Baby Girl loves it!
So Blogger made some changes to align with Google - which is convenient, but now I see that Bloglines and Google Reader aren't picking it up correctly. If you track my blog through a reader you probably need to re-subscribe - so annoying - and sorry...
I've received some cute ornaments from the ornament swap. I joined an international group so this ornament is from Australia. I give the girl a lot of credit for a cute design that could be shipped in an envelope!
One year The Boy and I made a gingerbread house from scratch - from Martha Stewart. It had the candy melted windows and not so supportive shaped walls - it was really beautiful. I wanted Baby Girl to get to play with a gingerbread house this year, but I knew I couldn't be overly invested if I was going to let her do it her way...so I bought a kit at Costco.
I think she did a fabulous job. I just love it!
