When I first started knitting I fell in love with the patterns by Tiny Owls Magic Attic. I even posted about the lovely patterns right here. Well I happy to say I finally had enough guts and experience to try out their Hopsalots bunny slipper pattern. I made these slippers as a Christmas gift for my soon to be sister in law and she absolutely loved them. They were really easy and fast to knit, but if you decide to try this pattern out for yourself a few words of advice. First make a gauge swatch, it really does matter. And secondly, the pattern suggests felting these by hand in the sink, It would have taken me days to felt these by hand because I had to go up about 3 sizes in needles, so I felted them in the washing machine and they came out great! Have fun!

New ornament for 2011
For the last few years I have been adding a new animal to the Modern Snowflake Ornament Collection. Since 2011 is the year of the rabbit, I decided that a Bunny was the addition this Christmas! Starting today, you can buy this snow bunny ornament at the Peppersprouts shop.
The other 5 awesome animal friends back again this year, but we will be saying farewell to one at the end of the season. Make them all part of your Holiday tradition.

Olive and Cocoa
Olive and Cocoa is kind of like the sleeker, hipper, more modern version of Red Envelope. This place is the prefect place to pick up a gift for that really hard to please friend, or just someone who you really want to impress. Their selection is amazing, from baby gifts, gourmet gift boxes, and extraordinary fresh floral arrangements. And best of all everything comes packaged in these rustic wood boxes, so unwrapping is extra special. We just purchased a little new baby gift and can not wait to see the smile on their face!

Here is a little sneak peek of the final shape before we put this guy into production! Look out for him in the shop Mid-September!
