while up in vermont i had to make time to stop into (admittedly in paint-covered pants) one of my favorite shops in burlington: nido a perfectly edited fabric + yarn shop right downtown. the exposed brick warm winter sun streaming in the tall windows antique cabinets and wooden crates bursting with a rainbow of organic yarns favorite projects hung to inspire anna, denise, nani oh, my! and the icing on the cake- picture-perfect vignettes featuring japanese goodies and the best in crafting books it's like a little purl in the great green mountain state!
An absolutely embelishment Oh, the curls take a plush cutie to a whole new level! They are time consuming and a little tedious to make, but worth it. This step is done prior to applying the yarn to your plush. Acrylic yarn must be used for this, I used Caron Simply Soft. The curls will relax a little over time and will generally hold their curl quite well. Pictured here on my Nutty Nag Plush Horse Doll…however, there are many others you can apply this to. They would look fantastic on a stick horse…but you will need A LOT more curls and will need to make them longer than what I describe here. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Just a heads up…there are affiliate links on this page. If you purchase something from one of my links I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Read my disclosure here. You will need: Acrylic Yarn (1-2 skeins…depending on how many curls you need for your project) I use Caron Simply Soft 12+ 1/4 inch diameter dowels cut to 12-15 inches in length 12+ clothes pins Baking sheet Water Ruler/Measuring Tape Scissors Oven Sewing machine (optional) Step 1: Wrap acrylic yarn tightly around ¼ inch or smaller dowels. I cut the dowels for this project to about 12-15 inches in length, you want them to fit inside the pan you’ll be using in the oven. You can easily secure the yarn at the end using a wooden clothes pin. I used 12 dowels for the mane and forelock and 10 dowels for the tail, this will vary depending on the length of your dowels, weight of the yarn, how tightly you wrap it, how long you want your curls and the size of what you’re making. Step 2: …
Yeah, so the only reason it's feeling even slightly feasible to bang three of these out is because they're worsted. It's sort of making me think that if I ever do break down and do a sweater (not likely) that it will absolutely have to be worsted weight (nope...still too slow...but I can see the

It's my birthday! Happy Birthday, me! How about for my birthday, you make one of my favourites?! You don't have to make it for me. Make it in honour of me, for yourself or someone else you really like. Or for me if you really want, I guess. Would you believe I have 49 pages
"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn." -Elizabeth Lawrence Fall is by my favorite season for several reasons... 1. October is my Birthday Month! I enjoy celebrating birthdays more than anyone else that I know!! I get so excited that I spend all of October preparing for October 30th! Unfortunately, my friends and family are not big fans of this "birthday month" idea. 2. Colors of the Leaves There's nothing like watching the colors of the leaves change; It is evident that there is something new and refreshing right around the corner. 3. The Leaves on the Ground Jumping in leave piles brings joy to my little child-at-heart soul! 4.Pumpkin Coffee Coffee shops, in general, are my favorite hangout spots; during autumn I find it extremely refreshing to grab a good book or study Scripture in a cozy coffee shop with a pumpkin coffee or latte in hand. 5. Hiking Trails Recently, a bunch of my friends and I went on a retreat to the Mountains of North Carolina. The leaves had not completely started to change yet, but it was evident that the process would soon begin. I enjoy taking walks on trails during the fall; the ability to hear the crunch of the leaves with every step I take and the fact that God has blessed me with the ability to see His beautiful creation fills my heart with thankfulness. 6. Pumpkin Pickin' Whether it's with family or friends, I always look forward to this time of the year when we all load up and head to our local pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin. This year I am going to Carrigan Farms in Mooresville, NC with a bunch of friends and I am probably more excited than a 5 year old about this event! I always look for the punkin that is the biggest, orangest, and the least beat up! Ha! 7. Pumpkin Carving This is an example of what I hope to be able to carve this year and enter into the "Carving Contest!" Chyyeeahhh! 8. The Scent of Fall The brisk air outdoors makes it a pleasure to come indoors to different fall aromas such as homemade apple pie, pumpkin spice, firewood, candy apples, autumn potpourri, etc. 9. BONFIRES Bonfires no matter how big or small are always a great way to get the gang together for s'more s'mores! 10. Arts & Crafts Arts and Crafts are my "go to" and knitting just happens to be one of my favorite things to do. You will most likely see me actively trying to pursue this activity during the cooler months. One of my goals is to finish a blanket that I have been working on for the past year... 11. Apples-to-Apples Apple Cider and Apple Pie are also another top favorite! My grandma makes an amazing apple pie that will melt in mouth! If my family and I get the chance we usually stop at one of the produce stands in the mountains and stock up on apples and apple cider for the fall and winter months. 12. Camping I'm not a big fan of the buggies but I will allow them to be my friend for a night or two out in the middle of nowhere when it comes to pitchin' a tent! 13. College Football Ok, ok, ok... so UNCC doesn't have a football team YET, but I long for the day 08-31-13 when they hit the turf for our first game! My roomie, Holli, is obsessed with football! I have learned a lot more than I ever knew was possible by living with her! Let's just say things get pretty heated when Clemson or Florida plays! As far as NFL is concerned... the Panther's will continue to suck. :( GO BRONCO's! Tim Tebow will be Holli's future husband. Just sayin'.... 14. Scarves There's nothing like a little fall fashion! Scarves add a great accent to any outfit and serve the second purpose of keeping oneself warm and bundled up on those cold mornings walking to class. 15. Fall Decor Last, but definitely not least, one of my favorite things about fall is the fabulous decor! With just a touch of a few neutral tones any home (even a dorm room) can experience its own "harvest time" feel. I enjoy getting creative and using different elements from the outdoors to create table pieces or door wreathes such as Indian corn, acorns, mini pumpkins, leaves, or pine cones.
