In the works. . .

I am creating a pattern for the knitted headbands with flowers that everyone around seems to be wearing. At least I see them on lots of people as I've been out Christmas shopping. A neighbor brought one over for me to look at and I finally worked out the pattern. I will post pictures soon.

Also in the works is my pattern for mitten animals. My favorite are the sharks that I am giving my son for Christmas. The shark teeth are the best. Thanks to friends who know how to crochet better than I do!

Christmas Stockings

These stockings have been years in the making, but they are finally all complete. I started making the kids' stockings for each of their first Christmases. After the third kid, I decided I really should make Mom and Dad ones. AND, since we're expecting a new baby just after Christmas, I should make hers as well. I got busy and decided this was the year to hang all the stockings. And they are probably my favorite decoration.

Strawberry Shortcake dolls

I am a terrible blogger! But I have been busy creating. Here is a picture of the dolls I made for my girls for Christmas. Here is the link to the pattern. I changed it up a little and did the hair a little differently. I love how they turned out and am excited to give them to the girls!
