On the left we have Maryella from Winter Knitty And here is a photo of the needles needed to knit this. I know my hands are a mess and I just chewed off all my fingernails from stress but as you see these things are teeny miniscule! I need to purchase the cotton and some read more

So here, at long last (Kristi) are the images from the fancy gingerbread men from the other night…Well, not all of them are men exactly.

 Derek and I have been turtle sitting for the past two days.  My friend, the fabulous Kristi, flew home to Pennsylvania early yesterday morning in order to spend a weekend with her parents.  While this turtle really doesn’t look like the two we’ve been watching, the point of this post is that I think I read more

Now, bunnies will always hold a special place in my heart.  Even though I’m 23 years old my older sister (who is only older by 2 years mind you) will slip in my childhood nickname of “Bunny”.  Trust me, it was the least offensive of the nicknames my sisters gave me, they were pretty creative read more

I am quite full and even happier.  Happy Thanksgiving all!!
