Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS


There is excitement in the air today as all make the final preparations for their holiday doings.

As you can see progress is being made by Yarn Elf. Though a few things may not make it.

Some small stockings are done and were put into a kit for giving



Hats are being worked on for my sister's three granddaughters. They should keep some heads warm and make them look like the little angles they are. Well most of the time.




Another purple and white (with a touch of hot pink) stocking was finished
As you can tell there is always something being done in the workshop. Some times some things are a little different such as the purple stocking which was a special request.
Hopefully your special gifts are on the down side and you have time planned with the special people in your life. That is what started Christmas as we were special to God so that he sent his own son for us.

Busy Time

It is a busy time in the shop. Packages are being wrapped for customer pick-up, items boxed for shipment so a customer can finish her project, or it might be a Christmas package wrapped and shipped. At this of the year we get to be involved in many different Christmas or Holiday gifts and traditions. It is a time of learning as well as excitement as no two years are ever the same.


Some of my own projects are near completion. Mr. Snowman is almost finished in this shot. He will hold candy canes for the visitors to my parents home.

He was finished and shipped. At his new home he will find a friend, Mrs. Snowman was made last year and her apron has pockets to hold goodies also.
At this time of the year can you have to many goodies?


(As a note my Mom was so thrilled to get him.)

Then I have the mate going for my purple and white stocking given last Christmas. This one has snowballs, snowflakes, and snowmen as the theme. Yes she likes some snow, as she spent time in snow while going to college.
Along with the current going ons, it is also required to begin plans for the new year which is fast approaching. Maybe a shop KAL or two. Then there is also all the end of the year things which have to be done.


So how are your holiday projects coming?
