I Wrap Presents Too...

11 Christmas presents packed and wrapped!  Whew!  I ran out of tape with 2 presents left to wrap and had to go searching all over the house to find some more!  I LOVE to wrap presents :-)  I made all the tags and bows myself!  Also, notice the strips of ribbons in most of the gifts?  So fun!

It's Coming...

Guess I should put something new up.... I have a cotton hat that I knit this past week, but I just haven't gotten around to taking any pictures of it yet...... soon.....

Updated Sock Monkey

 Now he has button eyes :-)  Adah picked pink ones!

Sock Monkey

 My first attempt at making a sock monkey.  Couldn't find my buttons.... perhaps I will replace his eyes when I find them.... What do you think?  Beads or Buttons?

Up close and personal! :-)

Sock Monkey Hat!

For the lady I briefly met at Starbucks on Saturday.... are you still interested in the Sock Monkey Hat for your 5 month old son?  I think this would be a tad big, but he could grow into it.  Also, i could add ear flaps and strings with more red pom poms on the end.... :-)  It's very thick and warm!

Apple Hat

 What 1 year old doesn't need a good Apple Hat? :-)

 Yes, I used a roll of paper towels as my model.... hehe :-)

And here's the hat with some squash :-)  This hat would probably fit up to 18 months, or maybe even 2 years if your kid has a small head :-)

Jack O Lantern!

Just in time for Halloween, I finally finished a Jack O Lantern hat that I started last year.  Haha :-)

Dos Penguins!

My girls kept asking me as I was making these, "Is that one for me?"  I kept telling them over and over, "No, these are for Becca Byers."  I told them that again today as I was finishing them up and then they were running around the house saying, "BECCA BYERS! BECCA BYERS!"  Hahaha :-)  I hope you like them!

Tie Stuff

well, i mentioned a while ago about posting some pictures of things i have made out of ties and, well, i forgot.  i'm pretty horrible at keeping up with blogging, but anyhow, here are a couple of things i have made from the same neck tie.  a clutch purse and matching change purse, both with velcro closure and a button accent.  i think they're cute :-)  i also made some matching white ones, but haven't yet gotten any white velcro.

Penguin

Hello! I am a penguin hat! I will keep your head nice and toasty! I also have cute button eyes! I will soon be taking a trip across the country to my new owner in Pennsylvania! See you soon!

Ties

my newest creations have involved using neckties to make change purses, clutches and a larger bag. the larger bag is still being worked on. photos to follow :-)

Fried Eggs, Anyone?

Here are some wrist warmers that I made for a friend. For some reason, he wanted fried eggs on them. I think they're silly. He thinks they're warm.

These are 2 stockings that I made for my friend's kids, Alaina and Aden. Stockings must be ordered well in advance, as it takes some time to knit them.
