Walnut Acorn


If you need a last minute Thanksgiving decoration. Here is a quick project. You will need a walnut, a glue gun, and medium weight cotton yarn.

With an f hook make 5 sc in a magic circle
Rnd1: 2sc in each sc around (10)
Rnd2: *1sc, 2sc in next st* repeat around (15)
Rnd3: sc around (15)
Rnd4: sl st around (15)
Cut thread and weave up to center top along with the other thread. Tie four square knots to make the stem and then weave the yarn ends back into the cap. Glue cap to the top of a walnut. You can use these as decoration on your Thanksgiving table. You could also put them in a wreath or hang them on a garland.

Draft Blocker


Along the bottom of our back door we get a draft of cold air in the winter. I have been putting a rolled up towel there but I thought it might be nice to have something cuter. It is nearly spring here and the weather is getting warmer. I don't need my new draft stopper as much now, but I like it so much. I think I will leave it up for a long while yet.
