I put some Felt Needle Books in the shop yesterday. A fun gift topper or stocking stuffer for the lady who loves to sew.

Hope your holiday season is filled with fun and laughter.<br />

Hard to believe we are in the Christmas gift giving season....<br />
<br />
I have been working on a few new projects to add to the shop. 'Gift tags' are always a fun thing to add to the top of your package, not only for practical purposes, but to add a little bit of whimsy too.<br />
<br />
These Crochet Holiday Heart Gift Tags are an opportunity to do a little something special. <br />

Basil Salt - my favorite way to use up the summer crops of Basil and keep the fresh taste of herbs through the winter months. We use Celtic Salt in our house and when combined with fresh Basil - it makes a fresh seasoning for fish, salads, chicken, etc. <br />
<br />
Place basil and salt in the food processor until smooth. Bake in a 225 degree oven, on a baking sheet, for approximately 45 minutes or until dried out (stirring to make sure it doesn't stick to bottom). Let cool. Put back into food processor and grind until smooth. Store in airtight containers. Freezes well!<br />
<br />

<br />
Sadly, this is the last herb I will be picking, this year. I've been harvesting and drying herbs all summer - and now it's over...? I've enjoyed picking and hanging bunches of parsley, basil, sage, chives, mint and oregano all over the place. When it's dry, I pulse it gently in a grinder and package it to use through the winter. Truly, there is nothing better than fresh herbs. The ones from the store don't even compare! Winter is close at hand.<br />
<br />
Now, time to plant the garlic...<br />

I am looking forward to the weekend of rest with my family (although we have places to be and lots to do). Getting chores done and running errands today. How 'bout you?<br />

Can't believe that <em><span style="font-size: large;">October</span></em> is already here (and half over). In my house, it seems to be the busiest time of the year (although December hasn't gotten here yet!).<br />
<br />
We had a <em><span style="font-size: large;">fabulous</span></em> family vacation a few weeks ago and I have had a difficult time getting back into the swing of things at home. We were able to be away from the regular routine of life - be pampered, lay on the beach, search for perfect restaurants overlooking the ocean, hang out, laugh and play in a different way than normal (without the clock ticking or the next project looming). Being back home reminds me that although the vacations of life come to an end, we are so very blessed with all we have. When I am with the people I treasure, I am at <em><span style="font-size: large;">peace</span></em>.<br />
<br />
So, the routine continues!...A hot cup of my favorite coffee, snuggly wrapped in one of my <em><span style="font-size: large;">Coffee Cozies</span></em> makes me feel warm today...Happy Autumn...Little Bug Markethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02113438878134422186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646368442010302608.post-17820053370299889932013-10-16T17:50:00.001-04:002013-10-25T11:28:49.988-04:00Face Scrubbies - Quick and Simple Pattern...!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Something about the seasonal 'candy corn' colors makes me feel warm this year...<br />
<br />
These <span style="font-size: large;"><em>Crochet Face Scrubbies</em></span> are the perfect size for getting your face clean without too much mess (approximately 3"). Reusable. Great texture. Easy to throw into the wash. Much more fun than a washcloth or cotton pad. My children enjoy using them, as the large washcloth is always dripping down their arm and making a huge mess!!!<br />
<br />
They make a <span style="font-size: large;"><em>sweet</em></span> homemade gift for a teenager - wrapped in a jar with face wash, moisturizer and headband! Fun idea for the holidays.<br />
<br />
Although there are plenty of instructions (out there) on how to 'crochet in the round', this is a pattern I have tweaked and enjoy using. This is <em>very</em> basic! Have fun.<br />

Well, the stack of old <span style="font-size: large;">denim</span> jeans and scraps around here is getting to be too much. The question is always "What should we make...?" This little creation is a fun way to use up some of the denim pieces, incorporate some wool felt and have more small <span style="font-size: large;">storage bins</span> on my shelves for thread, punches, ribbon, scraps, buttons, etc. (you get the idea). Oh, they are so much <span style="font-size: large;">fun</span> to fill!</div>

Time goes so quickly.<br />
<br />
We've taken many vacations throughout the summer & enjoyed many festivals & concerts & baseball games. We took a break from school for a family vacation & now we're back working at the regular routine. Fall is here with some cooler temperatures & it feels good to curl up in a blanket with hot chocolate instead of finding ways to find relief from the summer heat. Soon enough, we will be talking about how we miss the warm summer temperatures...!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I am back to baking my breakfast casseroles, for special morning treats. French Toast Casserole seems to be the favorite around here, drizzled with maple syrup & blueberries! Yum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">There have been so many projects going on around here over the past few months. Many of these things I end up using for gifts & they don't make it into the shop. But, I have some Hang Tags, Denim Boxes, Crochet Hearts, & Coffee Cozies that will be listed in the shop soon.</span><br />
