Penguin Toy - Finished Object

After months of knitting procrastination, I have finally finished a project! I learned how to do a mattress seam (with the aid of this wonderful video) and I've been seaming like mad. I had a few toys on the go that just needed to be made up, so I'm looking forward to completing them.

First up is a Penguin toy, which is far cuter than I expected. I just keep hugging him. So sweet!

Merry Christmas 2015

Wishing you and yours all the best this holiday season!

Taco Bell Party Pack #FoodPicFriday

We make most of our meals at home, but sometimes we go out and buy some really ridiculous food. Take this big bag of Taco Bell we got last week. It was clearly the best deal for tacos, but it was truly an excessive amount of food: 10 tacos (6 hard, 4 soft), 2 fries, and 2 nachos + hot cheese sauce. The thing we didn't realize until we got home (and after I'd already eaten one) was that they accidentally put two burritos in the bag with our tacos. I don't eat at Taco Bell very often (once every five years I'd say), so I didn't realize I was eating a burrito and not a soft taco. So our crazy amount of food was even crazier than we expected.

Homemade Blizzards

For some reason I got obsessed with the idea of making homemade Blizzards. I turned that obsessive thought into reality by buying a four liter tub of ice cream and various chocolate bar add-ins. Then I proceeded to eat Blizzards every day for a bunch of days in a row. All the various add-in chocolate bars make a yummy treat, but hands down the best one is Smarties, no question.

What a Difference a Week Makes

We had a blizzard last weekend which left us covered in a foot of snow. It rained later in the week, and now we are back to green grass. There is no snow in the forecast for the next few weeks, so I am going to enjoy the green while it lasts.
