The Week in Wool – 5
Not much wool this week, I’ve been crocheting like mad though.
I did finished a little stuffed bunny made from upcycled cashmere and one purple cashmere hat.
I think she has the sweetest little face. :) She’s made from the Funky Friends Factory, Baby Bunny Pattern.
This organic cotton hat was a custom for a friend who is moving away. 6-9 month sized.
I also finished up a wholesale lot of cotton crocheted soap savers….
I have a couple of more bunny plushies in the works and hats of course. :) I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Week in Wool – 4 Owl Plushies
Sorry… I’m running a little late with this. We’ve all been sick for a week and Little Bit has had it pretty bad with double ear infections.
This week I finished 4 owl plushies I’ve been working on for about 2 weeks.
This time of year always makes me a little home sick for New Orleans. It is Mardi Gras time…so, purple, green, and gold have been on the brain! There wasn’t much to be done, they just started cutting themselves out like I had no control…
Meet Mardi and…. Gras.
Not quite twins, Gras is a little bit more plump than Mardi.
Mardi Gras
This little guy I call Zydeco, he just wants to get up and dance in the streets!
And here we have Nola… for New Oleans, LA. She’s already to catch some beads and get into the Mardi Gras spirit! She’s also my favorite. :)
All these stuffed owl plushies are made from scraps of upcycled wool and cashmere sweaters. I’m glad I was able to make a little dent in my scrap pile. :)
I also made 2 cashmere baby hats, but I haven’t taken pictures yet… maybe tomorrow.

The Week in Wool – 3
Welcome to this week’s Week in Wool…. thought it’s mostly cashmere this week.
I made two 0-3 month light pink cashmere hats. One went off to WAHM Connect, the other will be for sale.
This is such a sunny yellow, perfect to banish the gray of winter, 0-6 months, cashmere.
This red gnome hat is made from 100% lambswool. The ribbing is so stretchy, it starts at a 2T size and stretches to fit a young adult, just fold the bottom edge up or down for years of wear!
Also cashmere, this bright blue, fully ribbed hat is a 3-9 month size. So soft and stretchy too!
This was a custom for a friend. a 6-12 month fuzzy cashmere lavender double knot.
I do have 2 others hats this week, but between having a sick kiddo and feeling under the weather myself, I haven’t taken pictures of them yet.

Raspberry Smoothie
Little Bit has been sick the past few days. He has a really sore throat and is having trouble swallowing. We’ve been to the Dr. and it is just a virus, not strep. Yea! Since he likes smoothies I figured it would be an easy way to get some food and liquids in him. Hooray for smoothies!
Today’s smoothie was raspberry! I used some frozen raspberries that I’d put up a few weeks ago, milk, Yami vanilla yogurt, ice and a dash of sugar. I didn’t measure, I just used the TLAR method… That looks about right. :) I crumbled up a few raspberry bits on top and Little bit went to town. There was enough for me to have some too.

Giving Bagels A Go
In an effort to try more things this year, I tried making bagels for the first time yesterday. I used the recipe from The Food Allergy Mama’s Baking Book. They were so easy to make I can’t believe I’ve never tried making them before!
They did come out a little misshapen and I need to make the holes bigger next time, but they were still very tasty!
The recipe was just for the plain ones, but I wanted a little variety. I dipped 4 of them in a plate dusted with kosher salt. These tasted just like pretzels!
And I dipped another 4 in a cinnamon sugar mixture. These were Little Bit’s favorite!
It is so nice knowing exactly what is in them, nothing weird sounding or unpronounceable, just flour, salt, sugar, water, and yeast! Well, and a bit of cinnamon. :)
I really want to try some with blueberries or other fruit.
