overly ambitious
i think i mentioned back in january that i had already completed a few knits for christmas '07. every january i get this grand idea that i will make up presents for the following year. well, sadly, my '06 presents are now destined for le garbage. you see those ornament wreaths? yep, those were handcrafted by me, now over a year ago. i searched the after christmas sales for all those ornaments. i sat on my floor glueing them on for hours and then left them piled under a table for a year, only to find the ornaments breaking and falling off when it was time to start giving them as gifts. apparently the glue i chose did not stand the test of time. there is no salvaging these things. i have tried. so sad.
maybe a key lime pie martini with a graham cracker rim will ease the pain. oh and those slippers i mentioned awhile back. completing those will ease the pain (assuming i don't fail at those as well). stay tuned.

just remember it takes failure to succeed, so bah! something good will eventually come of it all!
i have a rule, no martini is to never EVER be made with Vodka. Only Gin.
Real Martini. I might.....just have......to...be WEAK....and BREAK MY OWN RULE. Since key lime pie is a major weakness of mine.
*ARGH*
whoa. that looks yummy. :)
Much yumminess! and the slippers will be fine, how are they comming along?
I'll be at Thursday morning knitting tomorrow, you comming?
That looks so yummy. Did you make it yourself? Can I make one too?
So sad about your wreaths - they look beautiful, if that's any consolation.
Key lime pie martini sounds fabu. Does the flavor come from the vodka or do you add something to make it key lime-y?
Sorry about your ornament wreath project. Bummer.
Mmmmmm... that key lime martini looks very good! May I have the recipe? Yummy!

Dang, already thinking of X-mas 07...you are a go-getter! Sorry the gorgeous creations aren't going to make it...hopefully the next creation will be even more beautiful!
That is *majorly* disappointing... it might take 2 of those klp martinis to help you over it! :)
Typically, I'm like Jen - martinis are gin. period. But I've decided that if you're going to get fancy and add flavors (chocolate, keylimepie, etc.) then vodka is a necessary substitute!
