Great Gingerbread Houses

Sugar Castle

I finally have some time off from work and found this great site. I really thought these houses were wonderful works. I hope you go to the site below and look at all the pictures of these houses.

The Sugar Castle, displayed in the historic Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco, took over 400 hours to create.

Cute Crochet Blanket

Crocheted Pencil Afghan

I saw this pattern today. You can download the PDF file from the site below. I think this would be a great gift for a student, teacher, or writer that you love. It looks like it would take some time to finish, so start now, if you want to get it finished in time for Christmas.
