Welcome, 2015!
Happy 2015! Jeff and I have returned from our holiday travels and as usual would like to share some delicious food details.
Goodbye, 2014
This time of year I always feel a bit sad to say goodbye to the current year and welcome to a new one. 2014 has been full of ups and downs.
Terraria!
Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, some friends introduced Jeff and I to a computer game called Terraria. I'm told it's similar to Minecraft, but I've never played that so I can't be sure. I'd describe Terraria as a build your own world game with a bit of fighting monsters thrown in. I hate fighting games, but there's something oddly pleasing about chopping up these enemies with a big, bad, fiery sword.
Thanksgiving 2014
Happy Thanksgiving! As usual, we hosted the Seattle Transplant Thanksgiving Dinner. Great friends were in attendance to consume the boatload of food we always have followed by board games. Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!
DIY T-shirt Yarn
I find so many cute things to crochet on Pinterest, but the one that's highest on my radar is this cat cave. It's made of t-shirt yarn. I looked all over before locating t-shirt yarn at my local Joann's. Unfortunately, the selection is small and they don't have more than 2 rolls that match in color/design and that doesn't seem like enough to finish one nest. In my opinion, the stuff is also fairly expensive at $9.99 per roll.
Creative Collaboration: Snow White & Me
My Mom recently asked if I would crochet something to go in the Silent Auction at the school I attended for 1st - 8th grades. Many of my former classmates have been selling crocheted hats and baby photo props, so I decided to make an amigurumi to be different. After much thought, I talked to my friend and neighbor, HK, to see if we could collaborate on a doll and dress combo since she has been making adorable little girls' princess dresses. We decided this would be super cute and went with a Snow White theme.
