Loved & Loathed: Olives

loved & loathed: olives

Loved by: My husband and children
Loathed by: ME!

My kids beg for more olives. They can’t just have 1, 2, or 5. They want a truckload. I have to severely limit them, or they’d eat an entire can. I, on the other hand, cannot stand them. I tried. I really, really, really tried to love them. I’ve had many meals made with olives being the main flavoring component and…ugh. Just ugh. My kids get to split any olives I pull off my pizza. Good riddance!

But I’ll continue to buy cans of them just for my boys.

What about you? Do you love them or loathe them?


A Glorious Package from Goodknits

Someone ordered a mustard doily blanket and I thought it would be a nice time to show you the packaging for Glory. It may vary from order to order, but you get the idea. :)

(bow-tie style!)

Doily blanket folded up (as best as I can–it’s hard to fold a circle!), tied with a piece of my favorite vintage fabric, placed in a tissue-lined kraft box you can re-purpose for photos & whathaveyou. A postcard and my business card are taped to the back of the top. I decorate the outside a bit, put it in a poly-bag for waterproof-ness, wrap it with postal paper, and send it off to you. I personally love getting pretty packages in the mail. I hope you do, too. ♥ ♥ ♥

I have a few ready-to-ship doily blankets in the shop. If you would like a custom order, please send me an email (lisa@goodknits.com).

DIY: duo-tone macrame bangle

project01

I recently did a little DIY for the Spring 2012 issue of Stroller Magazine. It’s a free publication primarily geared toward moms.

The step-by-step photo DIY is easy to follow and you should have a pretty bracelet in no time at all. This is a fun twist (oh, a pun!) on the traditional macrame bracelet. Gold and bright colors > droppy brown macrame. Go and check it out!
