Christina's Christmas Crafts

Okay, if you read this post yesterday, then you can see that I am a liar now. I did have one Christmas craft, and I'd posted that this was all I could manage this year. But, after making the bag (below) I got the sewing bug, and I had a little trouble finishing up a few things that I had been knitting, so voila! I have two more little additions to add to my Christmas craft post, which will be listed here below my yesterday post:




Things have been pretty busy here in the last month or so, and there hasn't been a lot of crafting going on. But I had a one Christmas request from Rose, my mother-in-law, for a tote bag like the striped one I made myself. It makes me nervous picking out fabrics for other people, but she said that she liked yellow, so here's hoping that she likes this! I like it myself, and am thinking I might need a new spring bag, since I have quite a bit of fabric left over from this one.

Merry Christmas to all -

Okay, so then the bug hit me, and gifts that I had going for my baby godson Charlie and my little Sibonelo (second cousin? Removed? Nephew once removed? At any rate, my cousin's son) were too far from done. So, a very small litter of two puppies were born last night from my sewing machine. The picture isn't ideal, especially of the little black dog, but you get the idea. They are sweet and soft and each has a beanbag inside to give it some weight and squish. April, if you're reading this, you can still pretend to be surprised when I see you on Friday, because I won't tell you which is for Charlie and which is for S'bo!
