Bread Perfection

For my birthday I received a Le Creuset French oven and ever since I've been working on the perfect no-knead bread baked in the french oven. I think I may have reached perfection last night. The bread was nice and crusty on the outside and warm and soft on the inside and oh so good with a little butter dipped in soup. Mmmmmm.... Does this picture make you hungry?

Crafty Tuesday

Since we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house again this year I decided to do a little holiday decorating. It's amazing what a little bit of paper will do. See for yourself:

Lucy's Scarf

My good friend Lucy is turning 50, so I decided to make her something since I know how much she likes handcrafted things. I settled on this scarf in these beautiful blues and greens that look oh so good on her. It's a super bulky yarn and a nice loose pattern. I love the way it came together. Expect to see a few more of these (I'm currently working on an orange one for myself). Happy Birthday Lucy!! Hope you have a fabulous year.

Halloween

I know I''m a little late, but here are some pictures of my little pirate on Halloween. Pirate and Peguin: Argh!!! Say CANDY!!!
