Polar Bear Cap

This little cap turned out alright, but I was wondering if the nose was a bit too big and if I should add ear flaps.

Crafting tonight.

I spent the evening and the majority of the day doing some crafts, making some owl, piglet and duck baby bibs and I finished up some cowls/snoods/infinity scarves. Those are the bibs above- I found the pattern on the lion brand website. I still have a lot of dastardly ends to weave in and to sew them all together of course. I leave them until the end because they seem such a hassle, but once I get going they are not so bad. More on the finished products tomorrow perhaps.

More Thanksgiving

I was the one who was in charge of the food. I started cooking the night before and had recipes planned to cook all day. Some people gave me a hand, especially with the dishes.

We brought games for the children and movies to watch, but having timed races back and forth when everything was cleared off was the most popular activity of the night. Even the adults joined in.

Sarah took up my camera for a candid shot of me. Most of my pictures were blurry too. I really have to work on that.

We all sat at one big long table and I really enjoyed that! It wasnt so great for conversation though shouting from one end to the other. Perhaps it would have been better to put short tables together in a square. Overall it was a success and a fun Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving this year in the basement of a church, because it was decided that no one had a house big enough to hold us all comfortably, except my brother and he has been doing renovations.

My cousin Reina had boundless energy and was running and jumping everywhere! She took a bit of a breather to pose with some pies for me. Thanks Reina!

Winter Jackets

My trusty down winter jacket is on its last legs. I have been looking for a worthy replacement and when there were none to be had at JACOB, I switched it up to JOE. I have possibly hit paydirt with this green number, its very good quality and is a great price.

I got this red one from the sale racks at JOE last year for a steal of a deal -$11!

My favourite.

This charm is my favourite. I love the colours and I am especially fond of the two love birds in the faux cameo.

Long Necklaces

I made alot of long necklaces because that is the type of necklace that I would like to wear myself. Im not so happy with the quality of chain and I like some charms more than others, but overall I am happy with what I have so far.

Look here! I made some Jewellery!

I have also been busy making necklaces, rings and earrings which has been great fun. These pictures are pretty dark - it is overcast today and I didnt have much light to work with.
Although I have found that it is pretty hard to take a decent picture of a necklace under any circumstances!

Crochet Madness!

I have been crocheting and doing as many crafts as I possibly can for my very first craft sale! It is to be held on Sunday in between church services at a decent size church. I have so many more things to make, well ideas that I would love to see become real and sold at this craft sale and I still have a day and a half to make it happen! The top two photos are some bows that I have made into pins to be worn in a myriad of ways and the bottom two photos are two baby girl hats that I still might add some embellishments to.
