Love Day

A couple of weeks ago I invited some friends over for a Knit  & Eat party. Everyone brought a healthy wholesome goodness to share, we had a feast. My friend Kristen Cavallo, who is not into knitting so much, brought Vday card making supplies with her and they were a big hit. let's say no one knitted that day, I will let you read all about it on her blog, and see more photos of our day.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Try to be a little nicer today to people around you :)

Instant Bad Ass

I love fingerless gloves. They make you look so cool and tough, as in, hey you don't mess with me, I have fingerless gloves and I can punch you out, :). Purl Bee shows you the step by step, if you make them please just look cool and don't punch anyone out.

And here is how you can make boot covers,

All I Want Today

It seems like everyone in North America is sick, including Mr. & Baby B. I am doing everything in my power not to get sick, ginger lemon tea and Oil of Oregano is a major part of my diet these days. Turnips are a very good source of vitamin C also, remember this turnip bread? What are you doing to stay healthy this flu season? did you get the flu shot?

Another Tea Pot

Here is another tea pot I made to give as a Christmas gift to my sister Aida. She is a musician among many other talents she has. I wrote about her here.

This pot has very simple whirling Dervish illustrations on the pot and on the lid. I was happy with the way it turned out and it was fitting for her since she plays the Daf which is and instrument used by the Kurdish Sufis.

Cold in Minnesota

We are in MN spending our holidays with family, and freezing. I have not taken my knit socks off my feet since we got here. It has been so nice to relax in the ever so calm and quite Midwest, and get a way from the craziness of NYC during the holidays. My sister in law and I walk a few blocks to the store and we did not see a sole on the street. We are staying with Mr. B's parents now, and between the dog and the 2 young aunts, Baby B has forgotten who I am. I am taking full advantage I have to say.  I think we might even squeeze in a date night tonight.  

Tea Time

Hi Friend,
I hope you are enjoying the holiday season as much as one could with all the work that needs to be done. I have been at the pottery studio a lot this last month, thanks to many supportive family members that take care of Baby B for me while I am there. I have been enjoying making gifts for my friends and family. This one is a teapot I made for my sister and brother in law. It goes along with 2 mugs bellow. what do you think?

Here is another past project.
