I am woefully behind on my blogging for 2017- I could use another month of this year just to play catch up! But oh well, such is life. I guess I’ll just have to work extra hard in January! I have lots of big things in store for Knitted Bliss in 2018, and I hope that you will love it all.

My Favourite Pins This Week

This year we will be spending New Year’s Eve at a friend’s party, and I’ll be bringing these- drunken strawberries. Soaked in rosé, rolled in sugar and frozen, it’s hard to get much easier than this, or more festive. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

If you would prefer something savoury to make to celebrate at home or bring to a gathering, what about this bacon cheddar cheese dip? Brilliant with chips, crackers, chunks of bread… anything, really. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe can be found here.

Planning a small new year’s day brunch? How about keeping it simple and only serving one sweet and one savory, and providing lots of fresh fruit? This brunch idea is pretty inspiring. Plus, tiny pancakes on a stick is always going to get my vote. Pinterest link is here, and the lovely brunch (with recipes!) can be found here.

Feel like getting your craft on this weekend? If you are packing up the holiday decorations and things are feeling a little blah, why not craft some of these stunning felt flowers? Great links to tutorials for each, and felt is so much fun to work with. Pinterest link is here, and the original post with links to all the flower tutorials can be found here.

And if you are looking for  the perfect new phone wallpaper to remind yourself how awesome you already are –  here it is. Pinterest link is here, download it for free here.

I hope that this weekend is a wonderful one for all of you. I’m not sad to see 2017, I’m looking forward to 2018. I feel like it’s going to be an incredible year – for all of us. Big hugs, friends. See you in 2018!
