The Pink Sewing Machine: A Blanket for Teddy
http://thepinksewingmachine.blogspot.com/2009/12/blanket-for-teddy.html
December 30, 2009. A Blanket for Teddy. Here's a nice, quick pattern for a small blanket for your favorite teddy bear or doll. It works up quickly and can be ready for gift-giving in no time flat. Straight knitting needles size 8. Small amount of knitting yarn - I used Wool-Ease in the color "Fisherman". Cast on 54 stitches. Pattern set #1 is as follows:. Row 1: (knit 6, purl 6) until there are 6 stitches remaining. Knit those 6 stitches. Repeat those two rows three more times, for a total of 8 rows.

The Pink Sewing Machine: November 2009
http://thepinksewingmachine.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
November 29, 2009. The Eddie Bauer sweater refashion, part 2. It's time to revisit the remains of the thrift store sweater that was first used to became. There's really not that much left, just the tummy part and the two sleeves, but I can get a lot more good out of that old sweater! This time around, I'll be making a keyhole scarf out of the tummy part. (Yes, I took the photo upside down. Sorry.). Why a keyhole scarf? I blanket stitched around the cut edges to match the blanket stitching on the hat.

January 6, 2010. New Gift Tags From Old Greeting Cards. Christmas is over, and the decorations are all down.

That's why I like to use them to make gift tags to decorate my packages next year! Now you have a new assortment of gift tags for next year! January 6, 2010 at 7:36 PM.

December 15, 2009. Candied Orange Slices are totally worth the wait! The interwebs are a dangerous place for my waistline, indeed. I've discovered that my new life here in The Great White North seems to have brought me closer to the cyber world than I ever imagined I'd be, and hunting up new recipes has been part of the hours I've spent in front of my monitor. The profound love for potluck dinners in this neck of the woods (sometimes three a month! And that's just the ones I go to! Over at Brownie Points.

http://thepinksewingmachine.blogspot.com/2009/12/fruity-breakfast-cookies.html
December 22, 2009. While looking online for something completely unrelated, I found a recipe on WalMart's website that looked like it had potential as a breakfast-worthy treat.

The Pink Sewing Machine: A Quick Bath Set Gift
http://thepinksewingmachine.blogspot.com/2009/12/quick-bath-set-gift.html
December 23, 2009. A Quick Bath Set Gift. Here's all you'll need:. Mesh produce bags. I used a total of six for this gift set. Some mesh bags are softer than others. I'm using the softer kind so that it will feel good and not too scratchy on skin. A crocheted cotton chain loop about 12" long for the bath pouf handle. Make a second one if you want soap-on-a-rope. An optional soap dish. Stack all five folded bags together. Using strong sewing thread, tie the bundle of folded mesh bags and the crocheted...
