For my least 'uns

Over the summer, my littlest cousins fell in love with Adrian Monk E. (my sock monkey), so this is what they are getting for Christmas :)

Thanksgiving Projects

I love Thanksgiving. It is definitely my favorite non-religious holiday of the year! For me it has the perfect trilogy- Family, Food, Fun. Everyone brings a dish to my family's house, we play board games, card games, capture the flag, midnight, and what have you :)

Anyway, each holiday I usually have projects that I want to accomplish, so here are my projects for this upcoming week :D

- Apple Pie

- Pumpkin Cookies

-Roasted Baby Pears with Goat Cheese Wrapped in Bacon

-Fingerless Gloves

-Crocheted Beret

- Crocheted Slippers

Without Him...

Without His peace, I would be depressed and worried.
Without His faithfulness, I would be lost and wandering.
Without His strength, I would become worn-out and tired.
Withough His love, I would become angry and bitter.
Without His grace, I would go insane.

Without Him, how do people survive?

Finished!!!

This is it completely finished!!! Some day I'll put together a book of all the patterns I make up... some day...
