I'm never one to pass up a good deal, and this was too good to miss.
For the past couple years, I've sent customized Shutterfly holiday cards to our friends and families. I almost didn't this year just because the cost of everything has gone up... so I was okay (but not happy) with sending generic cards. But then I got my awesome Shutterfly Cyber Monday deal and created these beauties:
I got 50 custom cards for less than $35 - including shipping and handling. The deal I got lasts until November 30th, so get your tushies over there today!

happy thanksgiving - enjoy these custom baby knits/crochets :D
Whelp, I finally finished all those super adorable baby items! Before I ship them out in the next couple days, I thought I'd post some photos!
The items are for a (hopefully) new friend of mine who will be using these as photo props - I can't wait to see what those look like! They include a football hat and diaper cover set, a baseball hat and diaper cover set, some munchkin hats, and some adorable toddler hats.
I hope you all have a fantabulous Thanksgiving! Hubby and I will be enjoying the holiday with both our families, gorging ourselves on two delicious meals. I plan to get a lot of knitting in for Christmas gifts while I'm staying with my parents, then it's time to come home and have another tasty turkey dinner with our friends in the area.
I'll tell you what, though - as hectic as this long weekend will be for me, I'm still really looking forward to four days off and some "me" time!
Be safe, everyone!

my traveling scarf is home!
I received my traveling scarf last week, and I'm so happy to have it home! It is beauteous:
I wasn't sure if I was going to add fringe to the bottom, but I think I will. I might use white and keep it all the same color, just to bring everything together.
It's so bright and sparkly - I love it! Thanks to all the ladies who have worked so hard on this. It's been a few months since we started and it's nice to have it back in my hands :D

knitted headbands everywhere!
Before I get started on my day, I just wanted to show off some custom headbands I made over the weekend for my shop!
Grey and cream are probably the most popular colors chosen for these headbands, so needless to say I always have enough yarn to make them :)
If you'd like to make your own, then check out the pattern page! They make for quick and easy Christmas gifts that everyone loves. Or, if you can't knit, visit my etsy shop and I'd be more than glad to make you some for the holidays.

finished: knitted hat & cowl set
I failed at updating you with current projects last week, so here's one (technically two) that I'm most proud of.
I finished this hat and cowl set for my friend's birthday this past weekend, and I'm super happy with the results!
I bought the pattern on Ravelry, and even though the hat is great, I was somewhat disappointed in the price just because it was so simple. That said, it is a very pretty hat, so I guess I'm okay with it now. Plus, my friend loved it, so you can't ask for anything else, really :)
The cowl is a pattern designed by the owner of the yarn shop less than a block away from my friend's boyfriend's house in Philadelphia - coincidentally, where we bought the yarn to make this back in August. So felt like it was appropriate. AND it was really easy for looking so complicated. I was very happy with it, and the set looked great together.
Our trip to Philadelphia was so much fun. We had a tasy dinner at a restaurant called Southwark, which comes highly recommended by us. Hubby actually tried eating tongue and loved it. I couldn't get past the fact it was tongue, so I was content with my chicken, haha. Then we all went back to Pub & Kitchen for drinks. So all-in-all, a fun and productive weekend.
On a sidenote, I only have one nervewracking presentation left to give tomorrow afternoon for class and a 10-page paper due Thursday and then I'm done for the semester! And I think I discovered this morning that I only have five classes left instead of six, so if that's true, my day was made. Here's hoping!
