Holiday in the making...

Holiday preparation is going on full swing here.  We've pulled out all our exterior decor and adorned the house in the usual garlands and lights. Christmas cards are ordered and my hand is already cramping thinking about all the addressing (thank goodness there is no stamp licking any more... yuck!)

And the making of Christmas gifts is being squeezed into all the spare moments.  Here are the first couple completed projects...

A happy, tiny elephant stocking stuffer for my happy, tiny nephew.
One miniature handsome Pachyderm – Check.

Two dozen bean bags and a pair of steel pails for our girl and her bestie cousin...

Bean bag toss.

Fun way to use up bits of remnant material...
It's back to the grind stone for me tomorrow, just two weeks until the holiday and although I'm not "ready", I can't wait for it to get here.  Stay warm friends.

  1. The elephant (and the bags) rock so hard. I am so completely behind. If I crafted from now till the 24th I'd still run out of time...

    1. Thanks Kate. The author of the elephant pattern also has some wonderful other animals... I've made the octopus and have purchased the Owl, just haven't knit one yet. It's on revelry of course.
