The solar oven is amazing. Just as good as a crock pot, but without depending on any outside power source EXCEPT the sun. Don't you have plenty in Texas too?

Wow, I wish I was that creative. I am in awe of people like you who can create these kinds of beautiful treasures. They will make stunning decorations.
You might have been on a break but your sure were busy. I like the cute Christmas things, the trees would be nice to receive on a gift instead of a bow.
Wonderful, Snap, that you got to play double hooky. The trees are so sparkly - I can't imagine actually using them as potholders and maybe getting them soiled. Could they be tree ornaments?Blue-eyed Cassie is adorable!
SOOOO, you're a hooker! heh heh heh Your crochet work is beautiful. I need to pick that up again. I loved making the afgans. Enjoyed your pretty mosaic...
Cassie does look to be very sweet, however anyone who is owned by a cat knows that it isn't 100%. Cats are by nature a little feisty. At least all of the cats in our family have had their moments...but they love us anyway!!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving and I hope you did too!
I enjoyed my short blog break.I relaxed.I read.I cooked.I got the hooks out and had some hooky fun.

Cassie decided she had to help me while I had the camera in hand.She's getting soooooo big!Our vet says she has a sweet disposition ... we agree ... most of the time!

This is what I'm doing with the hook:really cute Christmas trees, Gingerbread Men and Houses.You can find the pattern for the trees (and other wonderful crochet goodies) atThe Royal Sisters.

The Ginger Bread Man and House are from a pattern of six Christmas potholders that I've had for years.I think I purchased the pattern from Annie's Attic.The designer is Crochet Village Designs.

The trees are fun, but I have to tell you I don't like the yarn I used to make them.It was left over from a doily project I made last year.The sparkly thread running through the yarn has a mind of its own.I want it to go one way and it wants to go another! But it does make a pretty, glitzy, Christmas tree!
I'd like to thank Mary for being our hostess for Mosaic Monday.Each mosaic is different and has its own story to tell.
Wishing you all well and a JOY filled week!

You made good use of your blog break! I like the little Christmas trees, and I've used that sparkly yarn and it does have a mind of its own!
