Win a 2011 Fiber Farm Share and Help a Puppy

It's a win-win giveaway to help a pup that had a fall and his owner is incurring the costs of the not-so-cheap vet bill.


The basic idea is to buy a pattern from the owner who is a knitwear designer in order to raise money to cover the cost.  Then let Susie at Juniper Moon know and she'll enter you into the giveaway...

If you're interested in helping Crush, check out this post at Juniper Moon Farms for details or this post at Flint Knits' blog.

New Font: Fancy Pants

I can't believe I forgot to tell you all, but I released a new font last month, and apparently in the rush of having my parents visit I forgot to post.


Fancy Pants is my first attempt at a semi-linking cursive script.  It was developed from some sketches I did last year (I KNOW!!) and finally got around to converting and tweaking.  It's available from MyFonts.com and has a bold and italic version available too.  I also had a bit of fun writing this really mean "dear john" letter to no one in particular.

Poached Pear Souffle Cake

Thanks to the Tartelette Blog and her generosity in sharing recipes, I was able to make my own Poached Pear Souffle Cake.  Both of us were feeling a bit sick and under the weather.  The signs of spring were hiding behind the clouds and cold weather, until we went into the grocery store where there was a plethora of pears awaiting our consumption.

I immediately remembered Tartelette's recipe from back in December and grabbed six mini pears.  So glad I did.  This is a really beautiful recipe with gluten-free alternatives.  The smells from the poaching opened my sinuses and really were a relief!
