The Apple Cozy

I’ve said before that if I wasn’t careful I’d cozy my whole house. Cozies, like my cup cozies, are cute, functional, and just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  And, well, yes, I do realize they might be a little dorky. But that makes me love them all the more.

I recently added a new cozy to my collection:

The apple cozy.

I found the free pattern for this cute apple cozy on Ravelry. It worked up very quickly (within an hour or so with some scrap yarn I had leftover from washcloths) and I love how it turned out. A great way to keep my fruit a little protected when I throw it into my bag to go to work. Also, it never hurts to make things a little cuter. Maybe the cuteness will increase the amount of fruit in my diet!

Embroidery Designs at Urban Threads - Projects

This hedgehog plush is beyond adorable. It’s also educational, with braille embroidered on it.  What a clever idea!

Storm Moon Knits: Free pattern: Celtic Cable Neckwarmer

It was a beautiful 77 degrees here today, but next week they’re predicting snow! I’ve been looking around for a neckwarmer to make, and this is one of the prettiest I’ve found.

MAKE YOUR OWN swiffer duster instructions (via merwing✿little dear)

I love this idea! I really need to get some microfiber cloths to make these for my house. Goodness knows my shelves need some new dusting cloths!

plannin' 'n punchin'

There’s nothing like getting a package that’ve you been waiting for in the mail. Today, I got my Levenger punch in the mail!

It really is a good quality, like all the reviews have said. Even though it cost a little more than I would’ve liked, I think it will be a good investment. Now that I have my punch, I’m finally able to get going on making my own planner! Expect a planner post soon!

Craft Night!

Last week a couple of friends and I got together for a craft night. It was a ton of fun and I look forward to doing it again soon!

I showed Bridgette how to purl, so she spent the night practicing.

Kim worked on her scrapbook and made these awesome, tiny origami cranes and ducks.

Okay, maybe with all the junk food, girl talk, and American Idol we might not have been as accomplishing as we would normally be, but getting to hang out with some great friends AND crafting? That’s really awesome.
