I’ve been a busy little elf!
YIPPEE the snowman quilt is done! It came out cuter than I expected! I think I may have to make one up for myself! I just have to get a dowel rod for the back, but I’ve got the rings for the holder in the back and everything. 
I can’t think of the name of the pattern right now and I don’t feel like running upstairs to find out…Kalico Kreations I think. They have a Santa pattern the same size really cute too..
Also here’s a pict of the scarf I made for my mom..nothing fancy. Just garter stitch. Please remind me not to use this yarn again! It drives me crazy, but the scarf is pretty!
It will match her coat really nicely!
Now all that’s left is to sew up the catnip mice and stuff them. Well actually I still need to make cookies, and wrap gifts, (I did wrap hubby’s this AM since he was at work and I’m off today!) But hubby gets to help with those 2 even if he doesn’t want to!! 
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!
So I’ve been slacking
OK I’ve been slacking on this blog..I should probalby just be using this one since it’s free…so here’s some stuff from my other blog…

The Christmas Knitting is done!
Well I’ve finished my Christmas knitting! I finished the blue purse completely yesterday.
I also made a scarf for my mom. Just lion homespun (which I forgot that I hate knitting with) but it goes with her new coat . OK well I do have to sew up the catnip mice yet….
Now just to finish the Christmas sewing! I have a wall hanging to get done. I started it, and plan on finishing it tomorrow. We’ll see wish me luck
Well I have a couple more finished objects! Yippee! I finished 2 of my 3 holiday gift purses! 
They are lined and the handles are on. 
The 3rd one is knitted but not lined and sewn up yet.
Hopefully tomorrow night. I’m going to try to get my Christmas cards done today. I managed to get my other decorations up. I also have given in and am going to try to make a wall hanging for my cousin-in-law who I have in our family exchange. I saw/bought the pattern yesterday. Am I a sucker? It’s an easy pattern so I hope I can get it done in a few hours. We’ll see…I don’t have any other ideas for her.
Christmas is on it’s way!
Well with Jeanne’s help I’ve knit up two purse’s for my niece’s. 
I started the last one! I hope they like them. I think they are quite cute. 
I still have to line and attach the handles. I figure I ought to do all three at once.
I also glued all my noses on all my ornanments,and tied on the strings on and date them! They are done! 
HOORAY!! I have to bag them up but that isn’t hard to do! I decided to go with the 3D noses made from sculpy clay, way cuter! I’m very happy with them I think in the end they may have been easier to make (not to glue on) than the foamy ones would have been!
I also have the body done on the split neck tee, and just the sleeves and collar to do. I’m REALLY happy with how it fits! I”m tying to make myself finish the last purse before I pick the sleeves up.
Abby is trying to get into the holiday spirit!
Toby is bored with all the Christmas maddness!
I did manage to get my tree up and decorated. It only took my a week to do it! I also have most of my decorations up. NOw to clean my house up so It’s not a disaster!!
in other knitting news
Not only did finish my Ribbi, I’ve also been knitting along on my split neck tee froom Knitting pure and Simple. 
I’m down to the waist increased. Another night or two and I should be done with the body. I love the look of this yarn! Though it is a bit splitty, but I just have to keep a bit more of an eye on it, but really once you get moving with it you get a feel for it and it’s not too much of a problem. I’m hoping to be able to wear this for holiday occasions, since the yarn has a bit of a sheen to it, it’s a bit dressier than regular wool.
I’ve also started knitting some little mice for my catnip mice I’m making for all the cats in my life. I’ve got 3 of 6 knitted up and lightly felted.I just scrubbed them up in the sink with my hands and some hot water. 
I need to get some fresh catnip at the ole pet store this weekend so I can sew them up.
I’ve also started my snowman ornaments last night. 
I’ve glued on the earmuffs and eyes, and drew on the smiles. Now to cut out and attach all the noses. I have presticky foamy paper but it’s a pain to cut so I may just buy a plain sheet cut it and glue it on to the bells. I’m also thinking about getting some polimer clay and trying to make some 3D noses….
