It's beginning to look like Christmas!




December has been a whirlwind and it's not over yet. One more week till Christmas!!!
As I type, I have more boot cuffs and scarves to crochet.

We have one last holiday show this weekend @ the Downtown Flea in downtown LA. If you haven't been downtown in awhile, it's the perfect time to go. With so many new eateries opening up, you can have brunch and shop for the holidays. Perfect!

Enter Patchwork Santa Ana.




It's a great show with lots of vendors and good food. Our booth this year is on 3rd Street.

Giving Thanks!




Earlier this week, sis and I were walking around in the Bay Area after Patchwork Oakland. We were surprised with the number of people out and about. Even @ 10am! Didn't people have to work?! Let's not even get started on the traffic! Although, we have to admit that flip flop weather in November is Awesome!

The holidays just crept up on us! We've been so involved in getting ready for all the holiday shows that we lost track!

Well, before it gets REALLY CRAZY, we just wanted to take a minute to reflect and give thanks.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Hello October!


Happy October everyone! Although it's 80 degrees today in Southern California, the pumpkin patches are officially open. We love all things pumpkin: pumpkin carving, pumpkin eating, even pumpkin pasta making! But 1st, we have to go pick out our pumpkin. So, how are you going to decorate your pumpkin this year? We're still thinking about ours. Hmmm.... Ideas?

BTW, for those of you in the Southern California area this weekend, we'll be vending @ the 1st ever Patchwork Show Edible Edition in SOCO located off the 405 in Costa Mesa.


It's going to be a spectacular event! The events calendar looks so (fabulously) crazy! Bread, Cheese, Meats, Kimchi, Cottage Law and so much more.

Nicole and Delilah have done a fabulous job lining up presenters, speakers and DIY activities to cater to everyone! Hope to see you there!

Take 5: Homemade Ice Cream


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


September and Labor Day are just around the corner! It been so mild in July and Aug that I'm kinda scared of what Sept will bring.
 
To prepare, I'm stocking up on some HOMEMADE ice cream. Nothing cools me down faster! Except maybe a dunk in the pool.
 
I love ice cream and it's fun making your own. I start off with an ice cream base from Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream. If you haven't tasted her flavors, you are missing out! Her secret ingredient.... Cream Cheese! Her base has no eggs so no worrying about cooking it and ending up with lumps. Also perfect for vegetarians.
 
Here are the links for some variations.
