Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

As I say goodbye to 2011, and Hello to 2012 here are some things that I did in the past year!

This year I really worked on planning ahead, and with doing so I was able to schedule my posts ahead of time and share with you almost every day of the week!  

I also started my Calling All Crafter's Link Party this year!  Each Monday, you guys post awesome crafts, or recipes and I gush over every single one! Thank you so much for sharing! Plus I have met some new blog friends this way too!

Towards the end of the year, I started sharing the "Lifesavers Series" with you. These are just little tips and tricks that I am now using in my home! Some are no brainers, and others "duh" moments, but all will save you time, money and frustration!

I can't forget all my fellow bloggers who helped me out at the end of the summer when I had Wyatt! It really helped me not think that I was leaving my readers high and dry!  Thank you to all of you! 

Now, to wrap up 2011 here are my most viewed posts!

(here is last years too!)

10. Baked Ham & Eggs

I will never make eggs for a crowd any other way now!

I still use these to this day! And they work just as great as the store bought ones!

4.Knit Wreath Tutorial

An adorable knit Christmas gift, that I should have made more of!

White Chocolate Popcorn

White Cheddar when you have White CHOCOLATE?

Yup. White Chocolate Popcorn. Delish. If you like a salty sweet combo, you HAVE to make some!

All you need is some popcorn, salt, and white chocolate!

I made my popcorn using my hot air popper ( no butter added or needed)

Laid it out on some freezer paper on the counter. You could also use wax or parchment.

I melted my white chocolate in a double boiler. I used "almond bark" (there's no nuts in it though so I am slightly confused) but you could use candy melts or chips. If you use chips you will probably need a little butter.

Then drizzle, drizzle drizzle!

Package to your liking and give away, so you don't eat it all by yourself!

Little Fireman Hat!

Now, that birthdays and Christmas are over I can share what I have really been up to!

After looking around blogland, and the internet for a Crochet Fireman hat pattern,and only finding one ( for sale through Ravelry) I decided to try to make my own without a pattern! And I was able to!

I'm thinking of writing up my pattern, and possibly selling it? Is that something people would be up for? And I'm thinking only a couple bucks?  Should I make the leap and write a pattern for sale?

Happy Holidays!

Just stopping in quick today to wish you all a 

Happy Healthy Holiday!

Things are already starting to get crazy here, with a nephews birthday today and then we celebrate with a traditional fish feast at the great aunts house, and then Christmas morning, and Christmas dinner. 

Phew. I am tired just thinking about it!  

Enjoy your weekend! 

Christmas Card Lights Redo

Last year I made these Christmas Card Lights, and this year I didn't dig the grey. So just like my table runner and stockings, I revamped them this year.

Instead of using felt, I went with a tan yarn ( which I would have prefered twine, but again used what I had) and some jingle bells. A quick yet effective fix...

Am I the only one revamping Christmas decorations?

Stocking Redo

Last year I made new stockings, pretty traditional in shape but used my jewel tones.

And I must have had Christmas brain or something, but I did the letters with paint, and black none the less.

This year I wanted to change that, and duh. I have an embroidery machine! 

Why didn't I do that last year? We will never know!

So this year I ripped off the old, and went with white letters for each of us instead of our names.  M-Mama, D-Daddy, C- Carter, W-Wyatt. Then I cut them out and stitched them down.

Much better!

Snowflake Runner Redo

Wow, what a difference a year makes!  

(I actually have two more projects I updated this year, so come back tommorow and Thursday!)

Last year I showed you how I made a snowflake runner, this year I'm showing what I did to it!

Last year I just laid it on top of another color felt to see which color I liked the best.  This year I made the decision.

I went with blue, so I can leave it out past my Jewel toned Christmas!  

I also tried my hand at some free motion quilting, anyone know why my needle kept falling out? 

Even though I tightened it often?
