Handmade Christmas 2010

With one pair of gloves and two baby doll quilts and pillows left to go, I feel like a new woman - Christmas crafting is almost over! Already working on a list of new projects - more on that later.

I can't believe how much stuff I've turned out since starting this venture in July. And, yet, I can't believe how little too... It could have been much more if only I had more focus... more time. 



And all the knitting... Seems like I knit way more hats than this...




 Here is my finished Marinique Table Runner... 
Never can seem to get enough of the crinkle effect from stippling. Just love it!


I whipped up these little baby doll blankets along with pillows to coordinate for Olivia. She's helping me stuff them as I write. She asked if she could have it for her baby - and I told her "no - I need them for pincushions." Mean mommy! Well - she'll be happy when she opens them Christmas morning. Fabric: Heather Bailey Nicey Jane.


Finally - Here are the mits I'm making my sister in-law. After accidentally making two left ones (I know - seriously!) - these are ALMOST finished. 


That just about wraps it up. The only thing not photographed are the socks I knit, which are presently blocking in my studio. Cheers to finishing Handmade Christmas 2010 - and a second toast to new crafting in the new year!
