Although I haven't blogged in 6 months (!!!), that doesn't mean I haven't been busy crafting, sewing and crocheting. In fact, quite to the contrary. The good news is that I always photograph everything I make with the intention of sharing it here, so I now have enough blog material for rest of the year. ;)
Let's dive right into it, shall we? How about a crafty Christmas wrap-up?
First up, a queen anne's lace scarf. It's a little messy looking if you don't block it, but some light blocking worked wonders! I know I always say this, but I want one for me now!
This Christmas runner was for my mother-in-law. I made another one in a different print my my mom, but forgot to take a picture.
This bag was for my sister Katie. I actually bought a pattern for this one, which I rarely do, but in this case it was totally worth it. Terrible picture, but I'll definitely be making another one like this for me. I scaled the pattern down for Katie's purse, but the original pattern, the two zip hipster, can be found here.
Some wool wrist warmers for my sister Hannah:
This was my first time experimenting with crocheted cables and it couldn't have been easier.
This was for my sister and her almost-fiance, a quote from Song of Solomon:
And a framed hymn for said almost-fiance (his favorite):
An reversible apron and matching hot pad for my sister Rosie:
I didn't really do much homemade for the kids this year, but I did refinish a little table for Maddie to use as a vanity. She looooves it and uses it every day, so that was a win!
I was pretty crafty this year with my home decor this year and finally made new stockings for the four of us. But I'll wait until Christmas time to share those - no one feels very Christmassy in January! Alrighty! Signing off for what I hope is not another 6 months...
