Balkan Style: Bunting card FREE download
http://balkanstyle.blogspot.com/2010/11/bunting-card-free-download.html
Bunting card FREE download. I lined the cards with coloured paper in order to hide the stitches on the inside. I guess if you like the stitches you could leave the card unlined too. Want to make your own? Below is a link to download the PDF card template. I've only gotten around to making a template for the "thank you" and the "happy day" cards. You will need:. White cardstock or cardstock in a lighter colour. Fabric scraps or felt scraps. Needle and thread or sewing machine. Printer to print out template.

Balkan Style: Winter Wonderland
http://balkanstyle.blogspot.com/2011/03/winter-wonderland.html
Just when we thought we were finished with winter, we woke up on Friday to everything covered in snow. It was hard to get upset considering the destructive earthquakes and tsunamis in other parts of the world. I took this opportunity to stay cozy under my mohair throw and knit like the wind. And wouldn't you know it, I finished my cardigan. Fingering weight superwash wool. It's my first and most favourite sock yarn. And I'm wearing my cardigan today. It's so warm and toasty. LOVE. Making.cant wait...

This cloche was crocheted for the mother of a coworker who will undergo chemotherapy this week. She's already had a mastectomy and now fears losing her hair. I can't begin to think that a simple hat can make her feel better but maybe she will find that it brings her a little warmth from the cold winter. Posted by T of Balkan Style Bloggers. That is a pretty hat. I am making hats for my boyfriends mother she is undergoing chemo and radiation she had lung cancer and had a part of her lung removed.

Balkan Style: Cobbler Gobblin'
http://balkanstyle.blogspot.com/2009/07/cobbler-gobblin.html
This here's the bestest cobbler recipe I've cobbled together. And it's ridiculously quick and requires little in terms of ingredients. So far I've topped it with slimey strawberries, freezer-burnt rhubarb, bland blueberries, over-ripe raspberries, sour peaches, bruised apples, and questionable blackberries, and EVERY single time, my dessert-eaters request a second serving. Do you dare to try it? Here's what you need:. 1 tsp baking powder. Posted by Balkan Style Bloggers. I am so going to try this! My mom...

Balkan Style: High Winds
http://balkanstyle.blogspot.com/2011/02/high-winds.html
Thankfully the girls and I have the next two days to hang out and enjoy each other's company. I plan to wear lots of sweats, knit up a storm, drink pots of tea, and do a little early spring tidying. What I am really looking forward to is an event on Tuesday morning that I am co-organizing for work with Glen Pearson's office. Senator Art Eggleton will be presenting his report In from the Margins: A Call to Action on Poverty, Housing and Homelessness. At the Wolf Performance Hall. Knit and Purl Mama. T of ...
