This Saturday is the Michigan Brewer’s Guild’s Winter Beer Festival in Grand Rapids. Dawn & I are doing the same thing we did last year – a bus trip from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids. I’m pretty excited! As usual, it’s my job to work out pretzel necklaces. Last year, I did ribbon necklaces with bows and snowflakes hot glued on them. I felt like I needed to kick it up a notch, though. In summer, bows and ribbons and all that are fine, but for winter, it’s trickier. You’re all bundled up, so when you have a thick coat & scarf on, chestal area real estate is at a premium. Then, like a flash of genius it came to me. PRETZEL SCARVES. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone (drink 2 beers with 1 glass?)! You get warmth AND pretzel accessibility without all the added bulk. I dug through my fabric stash and found some leftover fleece that was just dying to become a pretzel containment device. So here’s what I came up with:

Another amazing feature of the pretzel scarf is it’s eco-friendliness. These babies can be machine washed and re-strung with pretzels again and again and again. In case you can’t tell, I’m feeling pretty awesome about this project. If you’ll be at the fest, look out for me, Dawn, and our girl Jessica rocking the amazing PRETZEL SCARVES.

Just for giggles, I thought it’d be fun to share my journal page from last year’s fest. I hope you love it. Have a stellar weekend, my lovelies. Click to see larger.
