A knitting Loom

I just started playing with my Christmas present from hubby, love it.
It's a knitting loom, he even helped me pick out yarn, it was like being in a candy store, it was fun watching him look at all the selections.

So I made my hubby the very first item,one of a kind  with learning booboo's and all, a cute little coaster, that was supposed to be a wash cloth, which still could be, but he wants it as a coaster.

Now I am working on a scarf, it is around 1/4 done. Having fun with the new gift, very interesting little gadget.

Christmas at Grandma's House

Christmas at grandma's was a wonderful time of the year, it was all handmade from scratch.
we made stuffed stars, candy canes, stockings for the tree and we strung up  pop corn on sewing thread for garland, climbed tree's to pick the kissing bush as grandma called it, and made a Angel for the top of the tree.

After all that was done we went to the kitchen, made pies, cakes and decorated sugar cookies, which the sugar cookies got a little messy so we always saved that to be last.

Grandma always said that to have Love is to Love Jesus, since it is his Birthday we sung happy birthday to him, along with other Christmas songs, Grandpa and uncles would get out their guitars and the songs begin.
So today I try to bring what my grandma thought me, to our Christmas now to keep the tradition going.

I love the meaning of Christmas... Merry Christmas to all and have a blessed New Year.

In the family

I made some baby shower gifts for a family member, she loved the items. She also wanted to know how my shop was going, she asked questions and I answered, then I found out she wants to do sewing and crafting, that is so awesome.
I cant wait till she gets started, just wish we lived closer so we could work together sometime doing a craft show. I am sending her some patterns, so she can get started doing something she loves.
