Handmade Christmas


Christmas may be over, but I am still finishing a few things! I have one more pair of socks to complete knitting, which I had to give half done to my dad, my grandparents' gift that they will get when they are back in town, and a baby gift for my cousin that had to be put on hold while I hurried to work on all the Christmas gifts. It is going to be a very busy week!

I made sets of scrubbers for everyone in the family, socks for my mom, dad (though still working on his!), sister and her husband, a cross-stitched picture for my grandma, and hats for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, with hers pictured above.

As soon as I finish the three aforementioned projects, I am already thinking of what I will make for next Christmas!

Christmas Rush


I have been so busy with The Christmas rush lately that I have ignored my blog for way too long! After baking cookies for all the neighbors and finishing the chocolates for my husband's work (the picture above is of peanut butter cups and pecan cups in the back rows) I only have one more project left. I should probably be working on it now, but slaving over gourmet chocolates - some of which did not meet my esthetic standards and had to be immediately eaten - has worn me out already!
