Hello, Friends! We have found ourselves midweek again, and offering up another slice of “What is it?”.
We have confidence that you will crack the puzzle this week!
So, what’s your guess? Leave us a comment with your conjecture as to what this item is, and we will post your guesses and the answer this Friday. Check back in with us!
Check out these plush little critters with adorable bibs to cross stitch! Charles Craft is sponsoring this ready-to-stitch giveaway for Create & Decorate friends, giving you plenty of time to stitch one and tuck into an Easter Basket. These plush stuffed animals are the perfect way to welcome a special baby into the world, and also make a great birthday gift.
The stitching area is 2″ x 2″ and each animal comes with a design chart of cute images, alphabets, and more!
You can find them in craft stores now, but why not try to win one of these critters from our giveaway, too? We will happily, and randomly, select 3 lucky friends. Simply leave us a “pick me!” comment as your entry form. Winners will be announced on March 12. Woohoo! We love a good giveaway!
And this week our item is… Ta-daaaa! This sweet watering can belongs to Noelle. (It is one of her favorite treasures from the first Brimfield Antique Show we went to.)
There were such wonderful guesses this week! Congrats to all who played, and congrats to those of you with the correct answer! Scroll down to our original post to read the guesses.
Happy Friday!
Welcome to our mid-week puzzle! You all guessed so grandly last week, that Noelle and I are hoping you will have as much fun with today’s game.
Here it is:
Please leave us a comment with your guess, and check back in on Friday for the answer!
Yes, that is our question today. Are you pinning your favorite ideas and projects on Pinterest? This social media platform is a colossal way of internet sharing. Noelle and I are fairly new to this game, but are certainly having fun. Pinterest acts like a file folder that organizes all of our interests: primitives, crafts, junking, gardening ideas, recipes, and more. The best part is that all of the ideas and images we find won’t get lost in cyber space because they are ‘pinned’ in this file folder. No more lost bits of torn magazines, dropped photos, and misplaced computer printouts. Hooray!
Here are some sample goodies that we are saving on the Create & Decorate boards for you:
We do wish that we were the brains behind this concept, but since we are not, we are happy to ride along in our quest for all things shabby, crafty and fun. Follow us on our Pinterest account:

This week our puzzle generated a lot of curiosity from our friends, and we are happy to share the answer with you today, as well as the terrific guesses you left for us. (Click here, and scroll down, to read those)
Without further ado—this week’s item:
Yup, you knew it. In fact, you probably have one in your house holding up a stack of books somewhere, don’t you?

Know how to crochet, but just can’t master the art of knitting? Are you already a master of both the needle and the hook? Or maybe you don’t even know the difference between the two. That’s just fine; with the Knook, you’ll be completing projects in no time, regardless of experience level.
The Knook package comes with three bamboo Knooks (sizes G/4.0 mm, H/5.0 mm, and I/5.5 mm), three different colored cords, an instruction booklet, and four beginner patterns. The booklet contains step-by-step instructions for knit and purl stitches and for casting on and off. Every step has photos for both right- and left-handed folks (cue angels singing). There are also videos of each step available at leaisurearts.com, and if you have computer access, these are highly recommended to make your Knook technique that much better.
The Knooks are easy to use, with a slight indent for a thumb rest that makes them comfortable to hold, and the included cords have edges that won’t fray. Word of warning: if you are familiar with crochet, please read each step carefully, as after a certain point, you won’t be using the same yarn over typically used in crochet.
You really must try the Knook for yourself. Once you familiarize yourself, projects can be completed quickly, and all your friends will be impressed! The phenomenon is growing (there is even a Knooking group on Ravelry [www.ravelry.com]), so there are plenty of sources at your fingertips.
Well, wouldya lookee here, folks…we’ve hit 50! Yes, it’s true, this is our 50th “What is it?” post. In human years, that’s, like…umm, yeah. Anyway, we can’t believe it, either.
This week’s puzzle is a humdinger; you didn’t think we’d go easy on you, now, did ya? But then again, who knows? You always manage to impress us. And please, please, please…don’t be afraid to guess, even if it’s off-the-wall. This is all in good fun!
As usual, leave your guesses in the comments, and we’ll post the answer on Friday. Ready…set…guess!
There always feels like there should be a bit of fanfare when we announce the answer. You know, just a little trumpet line or something. Wouldn’t that be fun?
Well, we have to give props to the 2 Sharons for picking up on the inadvertent clue of “generous crop.” We were actually just talking about cropping the photo, but you totally read into that. Nice job!
And to everyone that got this week’s puzzle right…we are impressed! It is indeed an egg scale.
You can read all the guesses here.
Have a great weekend everyone, and be sure to check back next Wednesday for our 50th puzzle!
Happy Wednesday, friends! Noelle and I agreed that the past few puzzles have been difficult, so we are hoping that our generous crop of this week’s item will help your guessing ability. Please leave us a comment with your guess, and check back in with us on Friday (to view the full image of the puzzle, and read the guesses).
So, what is it?
