October to December 2011

Wow, we are officially wrapping up 2011.  Doesn't seem possible, does it?  I want to take a second to thank all of my fabulous followers and those of you who have just stumbled by today.  I never would have dreamed that blogging could be so amazingly rewarding.

I am grateful for this supportive, intelligent, compassionate bunch of bloggy gals every single day. Thanks for being so awesome.  Okay, enough mushy stuff - on with the show.

OCTOBER

By this time, I had developed a full out love of crocheting.  These bookmarks were a hit and ended up being part of several Christmas gifts.

Mmmm,...some yummy acorn squash rings.  As easy as they are tasty.

NOVEMBER

Another crochet project.  This scarf was a Christmas gift for the girl up the street.

I wrote a 50,000-word first draft of a novel.






This is one of my favourite (and super easy) bracelets.

More food.  This puff pastry tart was so delicious that we had to have it again the next week.

Zucchini-Caramelized Onion Tart

Okay, just one more food.  Carrot soup.  I was especially happy with the presentation on this little baby.

DECEMBER
I made this felt mitten ornament for the birthday bash giveaway over at One Artsy Mama.

I tried my hand at spool knitting which I now totally love, thanks to Tamara at Etcetorize.

I cannot believe that this is the end of 2011.  Thank you all so much for visiting me and keeping me company over here.  This year has been fabulous and it wouldn't have been that way entirely without you.
I am so looking forward to an even better 2012 with you.
