More christmassy goodness
Dec. 20th, 2013 09:01 amLots of progress is happening around here, but I'm not getting a lot of chances to take photos. Still, progress!
I finished knitting the sweater for my HB. YAY! I started this over four years ago (!!!) and it's finally done. I actually started and completed 2 different sweaters for him during that time, but this one just hibernated. It's boxed up now and just needs to be wrapped.
Two new dolls for The Girl are complete. One is the Little Red Riding Hood featured on the cover of We Make Dolls, and the other is the Red Matryoshka from the same book. Of course I can't just follow a pattern as it is because that is boring, so I did make a few changes to make them more unique. Alas, the only opportunity I've had to take photos is after bedtime (because they are surprises!) and the lighting is so bad I just give up.
Also, we have been doing some wooden star and snowflake cutouts with paint and glitter. We painted first and let it dry, then applied loose glitter on top of Mod Podge. This has been slow going because one side needs to dry before we can flip it and do the other, so that makes it a slightly more advanced craft for my 4yo, which is great. She loves sprinkling the glitter, but oddly, hates getting her hands messy.
And finally, there are 2 different kinds of homemade cookie dough in my fridge, just waiting to be baked. And I'm doing a third tomorrow.
Still a few things left on my craft & gift list, but it's getting smaller!
