The Hook and I: It’s Here!

    Oh the book looks lovely! At first I thought it wouldn't be something I would need (darn it!) then I saw the fits 18 inch dolls line towards the bottom. My little girl just got two American Girl Dolls for her b'day and has been asking me to make them so clothes.

    Lovely pictures by the way! I'm still jealous about the whole Alaska thing. :)

    Hole mole, a bear! Maybe he just wanted some fireweed honey :)

    Congratulations on the book!

    The book looks adorable (the real bear is pretty cute too)! I'm just a little disturbed by the snowpants in August.... stay warm!

    It was in the 50s that day--the snow suits were more to keep dry than warm--but no one overheated!

    It looks like you are havng a Beary good time.

    You know, I have lived in fireweed country for years (we have lots around the yard) and I didn't know you could make this. Obviously my education is lacking. Is the recipe in that cookbook you showed in your previous post or is it your friends recipe?

    Congratulations Amy. The book looks wonderful and I know some dolls in need of some good warm knits.

    Well, if you were in Maryland right now, you would be cold still since the temps are in the 70s. But you wouldn't find a black bear near by. Oh, wait, there was a cub in a tree in Frederick the other day. I can't wait to see your new book and the shots when winter comes.

    I am sooo excited for you to finally have the book that you worked so very hard on last year. Yes, I only wish we were all together to celebrate. Maybe we should do a virtual book signing?

    Woohoo! I can't wait to get a copy myself! I'm doing a happy dance for you!

    BTW, the honey looks and sounds yummy!

    Congratulations! How fantastic! It looks great!

    And thanks for the tip about alum and cream of tartar. Very cool. Think it would work for pickles, too?

    Love to the kids.
