so december has come and just about gone...

Hey all... thought I should blog a little while Naiomi is bugging me to go out sledding...lol... thats what we're going to do this afternoon. ;)

I've been knitting (and crocheting) like a mad woman this december...

most ppl got something hand crafted... DJ and Allie got these to go to the IIHF world jr hockey game dec 28 ( today, if your reading this right now) Canada vs Switzerland

it's my own pattern with cables running up the sides and I tacked the maple leaf on, I did have a thought of stranded work for the maple leaf.. but with having to get these done in 3 days I needed something fairly simple... I just started them dec 24th and finished them last night.

thats a lot of knitting in 3 days..lol

Naiomi's been asking for hedgehogs for a while now... so I thought I'd crochet some for her...I made 2 in 3 hours.. and killed my wrists in the process... crocheting is fast but knitting is way easier on my hands! well I must say she was NOT impressed but Steven enjoyed them!

DJ has a new little brother.. not made by me..lol... her bio-dad and his wife had a little boy the beginning of dec and I made them this little set. I think it's adorable... DJ made him a bluejean blanket and some cutsie sewn booties.

and with the spirit of christmas... one of our customers at work came by and handed us this:

how sweet of her... we we're having a shit day... but that turned the whole day better...

Steven recieved this for christmas:

I call him Lenard.. Steven calls him Yo Gabba Gabba, I guess it kinda looks like that??

Well I'm off to go sledding... Hope you all had a fun and safe holiday!!
