Happy Holidays!

I love the holidays! They keep me busy every year, but this year it has been a bit more chaotic. I have had so many knitting requests it has been hard to keep up with them. Now that we are living near my family there are more people to think about. This is the year my daughter gets her first cell phone and my son gets his first tool box complete with tools. I still have to bake cookies too! 

Over the next couple of days I'll be posting every evening. Cookie recipies and if i am feeling adventurous I'll make my grandmother's Spanakopita (Greek Spinich Pie!)

I got presents!

My family really love the finger less gloves I made my daughter. More I have a few orders for Christmas. But I had stopped spinning in order to trim down my stash. Now I have an excuse to start again.

 I received a wonderful package in the mail from my good friend, Jackie. She has been making some really cute things.

Her "sweet treats" are made of polymer clay.  


Cookies, doughnut, and M&M jewelry!

 

There were also these based wrap bracelets and these rings.  








One fit my pinky and one fit Elizabeth's.

 That's the great thing about having crafty friends. It always ends up being an extended version of show and tell but with an appreciative audience. 

chocolate chip cookie earrings!

I also managed to get the Stitch Markers finished and in my store.

I woke up this morning wanting to bake cookies. I don't recommend doing this before coffee. I doubled everything except the flour. It wasn't until after my cup of coffee I came to this conclusion but the cookies are edible. Kyle said I can't call them low carb because it's missing half the flour. It's just the basic Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies just remember to double ALL the ingredients. 

Monday is my cleaning day. With 6 people and 2 dogs, it really needed it. But with the kids home from school and my Grandmother making excuses as why she hasn't started cleaning yet (while trying to race ahead of me undoing what I had just started) took me about 4 hours longer than normal. But my grandmother knows how to make a sheet look elegant on a couch. Sounds funny but it's true.

I didn't finish the knitting stitch holders like I had planned today. But crafting today was like magic...all the supplies aligned and I had everything I needed right in front of me to make stitch markers for cross stitch. Even the elusive Krazy Glue happened to be at hand. I think I should start doing tutorials on some of this stuff.
