Last week, my girls and I carved our pumpkins. I decided to go for something sweet and simple…stars! I also absolutely adore my initials…so I made an homage to Martha Stewart and my name with a giant “S”.

Please ignore the messy sewing area, mine are the right two on the table.
Saturday, I spent the morning with my roomie visiting knit shops in the area as well as findng the closest Hancock Fabrics. I got the SOFTEST baby alpaca in a sort of charcoal grey. I want to make a hat like aunt purl did, but I’m confused on needle sizing. I think I’m just gonna make a simple scarf for my sweetie.
Saturday afternoon I roasted the pumpkin seeds. Man oh man, those things are a bugger to clean up.

But they turned out so delicious and incredibly addicting. I’m actually eating some now…

Now, here’s the doggie picture of the day:

Isn’t she precious with her month old bows? I’m afraid to give her a bath and lose those cuties!
