I found a cute snowman ornament on Ravelry, and knew I wanted to make one. So onto the needles he went.

Take a Chill Pill
We all have days when we need to take a few minutes and relax. But we know people who need more than just a few minutes to relax – they need to take a CHILL PILL. So in honor of National Pharmacist Day, I wanted to share this project with you.
I’m being over run by hamsters
After knitting 9 of these little guys, I feel like my house is being overrun with hamsters. Using small amounts of scrap yarn (12 yards for each body and 1.5 yards for the ears, feet and tail) they knitted up quick and easy.
The eyes were made by adding small black glass beads. The ears were knitted using a long tail cast on method. The tails from the ears were pulled through the body and tied to form the feet and tail. I must say the feet and tail made them adorable.
The pattern was created by Emily Stoneking and can be found on Ravelry here.
Happy Knitting.
I’ll be “GNOME” for Christmas
The Pioneer and Patriot unit had an ornament exchange at their Unit Christmas Party. Each girl was asked to make an ornament. I found this cute guy and had to make one.
AHG Friendship Seeds SWAPS
I love SWAPS! What’s not to love? They are cute tiny handmade items with safety pins for trading. The only problem with making SWAPS is the time needed to make them. Since I made almost 200 SWAPS for camp I needed easy SWAPS that were also inexpensive to make. So after scouring the internet I decided that I would make AHG Friendship Seeds.
There are many different “Friendship Seeds” floating around the internet, but none seemed just right. So, with the help of my very talented husband we created the text. The words were printed on paper and placed in a 2×3 zipper bag with a few seed beads. Nothing could be quicker!
If you would like to make some here is the poem ready for you to use. Just print and cut on the dotted lines. (AHG Friendship Seed Poem)
