Cookie Needle Book

Inspired by a notions swap, I baked up a cute little chocolate chip cookie needle book!  You could easily change the pattern to suit whatever flavor cookies you like:  chocolate sandwich cookies, sugar cookies, etc.

Check out my latest free ravelry pattern !  It’s a fun little toy for all the furry friends in your life.  These catnip squids are super easy and quick to make.  Plus, this is a great stash buster project for leftover bits of yarn.  My cats go crazy for their squirmy legs!

Jayne Cobb Hat Lip Balm Cozy

I came late to Firefly fandom.  Initially, the name of the series and the western themes didn’t appeal to me, but I was eventually convinced, against my stubborn nature, to give the show a try.  And WOW!  I was completely hooked.  As a small tribute to fans of the short-lived series, I adapted Kristy Ashmore’s Lip Balm Cozy into a Jayne Cobb hat.  It’s a great, quickie gift for the super geek in your life.  Not a fan of lip balm?  The hat can also be used as a pencil topper or ornament.
