Halloween Sock Swap

As usual I was sucked into the "I am not going to do another swap- unless of course it is a Halloween Sock Swap. Last Tuesday I came home to a package on the front porch and was it wonderful. It was full of stitch markers, Halloween candles, mulling spices, a Halloween mug (that I am already using) some wonderful sock yarn and a beautiful pair of socks. And they fit perfect. Thank you Darlene. It really was a great swap package.

Here are some of my goodies
Check out the stitch makers. Aren't they spooky..

What are you doing tonight?

I took possession of this today at work. Dan is pretty interested in trying it.

I also finished the socks for the Halloween Secret Swap. These are off to Bradford, Pa with some other goodies. Which means now I can actually start to work on some other projects.
Isn't the label cute?!

Cupcake Fun

We had a bake sale at work to support the Eastern Niagara United Way. So I baked- I know it is a scary thought. But just check out these spooky cupcakes I created! Nicely displayed on my cupcake tower. Heading off to a craft weekend, so have a great one.

SCORE

Last night, while Dan was sleeping in the chair, I scored big! Thank you Liz for being a vital part of this. I secured this http://www.knitterlythings.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=631. It is the Vesper self striping Halloween yarn, in Trick or Treat. I am still basking in the afterglow of begin able to grab one of these skeins. I did miss out on the

Halloween Wee Skein Sock Kit 4 #3. Hope to grab that in some Christmas colors. Have a great day! It is going to be perfect if you live in WNY.

The catch up post

Where did September go? That is one of my favorite months and it just passed by. But I love October so I guess it is not so bad. I look foward to pumkins, mums, warm cider w/Captain Morgan and Halloween (just in case my secret swapper is spying). We had a really busy weekend. Here is a summary for those of you who are wondering what I was up to:

Saturday we visited an Amish Farm. There was a great variety of pumpkins and gourds

Stopped at a wedding Saturday night-

Spencer, Annette, Scott, Dan and me

These speak for themselves
And our little decorators, Elizabeth and Jack.

Friday night baking with the girls. If you look close you may see a cocktail or two amongst the baking supplies!

Yhew- that was a full weekend. Great times spent with great friends. I don't think it gets any better!
