Just a few of my favorite pictures from flickr contacts at this very moment. Not even going to promise any new blog updates, they will be here when I am able to post them!!

A Fall New England Weekend

Knitting a little and enjoying the cooler weather.

Thinking of pumpkin decorations that I don’t have to carve or clean up after.

Here’s a little slideshow – only 6 pictures from the Goffstown Giant Pumpkin Regatta this year.  If you don’t have the flash player to see it, you can see them at my flickr site.

This week I’m looking to catch up on some online blog reading, organizing my workspace and keep working on fingerless mittens for sale locally. 

A luscious, soft clutch knit and whipped up in under an hour - made as a store sample.  The Trendsetter Orbit yarn worked up beautifully as a dense fabric on size 35 needles.

 

That’s all I’ve got for now.

Thank you!

There is a world of people active all over the internet and Etsy, and I appreciate everyone who has featured my items in Treasuries lately.  Thank you!!

Get ready, there's a lot (I was overwhelmed to come back from a few days of internet vacation and find these here!) There is tons of color and so much talent to see - a simple click will take you to the various pages. Enjoy!

Thank you, thank you!

A Cookie Recipe

I’ve been keeping busy helping out at the yarn shop and knitting.  Will have to get pictures and update everything at least at Ravelry (I’m ‘tamdoll’ there).

Had an adventure trying to create some themed cookies for opening day – you’ll find that post with pictures at CraftFail.  They might not have looked great, but they were delicious and here’s the recipe:

For the white icing, I used the King Arthur Flour Royal Icing recipe but instead of meringue powder, I used egg white powder.  For the colored cookies that I later made, I used canned frosting and dye.

Thanks to freeprintablesonline for the cute recipe card I always use.  It reminds me of when I was younger and had a typewriter.  Pretty sure there are some of those typed index cards in my recipe collection somewhere.
