finishing

   Toys         There done............ five years later.  I learned something along the way. I don't like knitting toys too fiddly for me I like sweaters they keep you warmer but I bet my daughter would disagree with me

my little monster

christmas day

Ahhh Christmas was over in an hour this was quickest one yet I started in october determined to not be the family without a wii again you see New york is killer for these must have items so I started right before Halloween  and victorious sang the chorus as she sailed through  christmas again the only problem is that i forgot all the things I bought  and I kept buying and christmas was huge this year.

All the crafty things I did

finished Albert the monster

finished these socks now everyone has one

knitted two hats for Elijahs teachers and did a pattern for it

nine little felted gnomes and three mushrooms all for Amy,Mendy,and mom and joe

Gnomes from hell

Ahhh This was such an easy knit at first I was like geeeze I'll be done tomorrow and right after I tucked in the last thread.BOOM the project was all down hill from there.

 I never got the felt right I washed them in hot hot water 3x and then at first I used  rice and the I bought the pellets (which btw are very messy) and neither made their heads not roll over to the side.

 The next obsession was the eyes which I really wanted to look like the picture I really loved these guys and wanted them to well look just like the picture .......... gosh story of my life 

Ya know the best things I make all come from me and in the end that is how i did it blue eyes and all. 

I ended up felting it all on with all of my spare roving and felting needles and was proud that I had it all here and did not need to leave at all until...... my daughter tugged on my p.j.s and said uhmmm mom it's 4:30 pm!!!!!!
