Chocolate Peppermint Milkshake {Chick Fil-A Knockoff}

Something about December makes me crave all things peppermint!  Candy Cane Joe Joe's from Trader Joe's, peppermint ice cream, candy canes, chocolate peppermint milkshakes from Chick Fil-A... the list goes on and on!

So I had this idea

I just took some of this

and added a couple of these

put them in a blender with a little milk

and you're done!!!

sooooooooo yummy!

Anyone else out there drawn to peppermint this time of year?  You should try this shake!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Blessings,

Make a Christmas Pillow from an Old Sweater

I knew I was holding on to this old sweater for a reason... I made it into this!

I used the sleeves last winter for this wreath

See the resemblence?

I was starting to think I was nuts for holding onto that cut up sweater... turns out my craft-hoarding paid off!

I was originally inspired by these

They don't have these pillows anymore (and I wouldn't pay that much for them anyway) so I dug out the old sweater remnant!

This is what it looked like when I pulled it out of my scrap bin.

I cut off all the area above that is shaded gray.

Then I sewed it (inside out) into a square, leaving about 6 inches to stuff the pillow form in.  I stuffed it and sewed up the rest of the seam.

And now for the bow...

I made a long chain by casting 4 sts onto a size 11 knitting needle and knitting a stockinette stitch until it was long enough to wrap around the pillow and tie a bow.

The berries were crocheted from a pattern I found at Petals to Picots.  I made 5 of them and stitched them onto the pillow.  Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Jamie
