Candy centerpieces

I made these for my sister-in-laws rehearsal dinner. It served as centerpieces and then dessert.

Finished projects

There are three things that I have finished today. First is my website is starting to look like a website and not just a holding place. Two is I finally finished the shawl for husbands grandmother who is 85. And the backpack for my niece. Both the designs are not mine, I just followed the patterns. www.mashuta.com

Hanukkah updates

The first night of Hanukkah was a success. Family time is always great, but exhausting for the hosts. The girls loved their gifts and I am very grateful that my husband cleaned up the kitchen.
I still need to get gifts for the teachers and husbands co-workers. Opened for suggestions.

Happy Hanukkah

Happy Hanukkah
To all that celebrate the holiday of light.

Extra Yarn Part 2

I have decided not to waist all the left over yarn and make granny squares. I think when I have enough I will make a blanket.

Extra yarn

I have to report that I did start making a few items yesterday and have gotten pretty far into crocheting a cardigan for a 3 year old boy, a shawl for my husband’s grandmother and a scarf for my mother-in-law.

Here is a question: what do you do with all the left over yarn? There is a lot of yarn left over. Not enough to really make anything, not even a flower. Suggestions?!

P.S. the pictures will be coming later on today.

Holidays 2009

Hi everyone! Is it me or this year went by very fast?! I just realized that it is December and Hanukkah starts this Friday. I am not ready!
It seems that during December we get together with more relatives and friends than any other month. You know that a holiday get together is a success if the kids are happy with their gifts and the adults are slightly buzzes with full stomachs.
Gifts:
For the gifts this year I decided to use my newly learned skill and crochet some gifts. I will post them as I get them finished.
Food:
Still not sure. Opened for suggestions.
Drinks:
My old time favorite is champagne with cranberry juice or orange juice.
If anyone has a great idea, please feel free to share it.


I am also working on my website: www.mashuta.com. Stop in and let me know what you think.
