International Bacon Day!!!

This coming Saturday, September 5th, 2009 is International Bacon Day. In honor of the celebration of such a glorious food, I am posting some recent works of bacon-art. Above is the "Breakfast Awareness Ribbon" modeled by my husband and below is the "Bacon Scarf" modeled by the blue chair. Although these treats aren't as delicious as edible bacon, they are crocheted in vegan and kosher yarn and can be enjoyed by all. For more info on Bacon Day, see http://internationalbaconday.blogspot.com/

Take care and enjoy the bacon.
