Paint, snow and some slippersocks

Wow!!!  The livingroom is finally painted!!  I can put up junk on the walls now :)

We paid Rick to do it. Look, he can talk on the phone while he paints... LOL!

 Tom painted the laundry room area. We obviously still need to put in the new trim there.

We've had a little snow lately...

It's a miracle! I made myself something! There are a couple changes I'd make if I ever made them again... but I don't think I ever will since I'm not totally in love with the pattern. But, they're cute and they help keep my feet warm :)

Stuff I'm working on for Christmas

Obviously I can't show EVERYTHING yet since some recipients look at this blog... LOL

 Daniel Tiger is for 3yo nephew. Olaf is for 1 1/2yo nephew. Purdue stripes is for Purdue freshman nephew and Pikachu is for 7yo nephew.

 This market bag was sent to Honduras to a missionary friend.

 There are 2... I promise... Just didn't take a picture once I finished the 2nd one! LOL They are for Tom.

 For Sophie but s he's already wearing it. Wasn't a Christmas present.

A hat and 3 skirts

The hat was made because Sophie wanted something to throw on so she wouldn't have to do her hair if she didn't want to! LOL  The skirts were made for a friend. She mailed me the fabrics and I sewed 'em up :)

Knitted Hats

I knitted a BUNCH of hats this winter!!  None were done in time for Christmas... but I got them done while it was still very cold.  A monster that ended up looking like Mike from Monster's Inc. to everyone for the baby. A TARDIS hat for Sophie. I also made one for one 13yo nephew because he loved it. I made other 13yo nephew a Pokeball hat. I made 6yo nephew a Ben 10 hat and 3yo nephew a Sully hat and also a Minion hat.  Both brothers and Tom got basic ribbing hats and Christian got a Norway flag hat.

I actually made something for ME!

I NEVER make something for ME!  But, for my birthday my sister-in-law Janet gave me a gift card for JoAnn Fabrics.  I LOVED this fabric!! I had no idea what I was going to use it for yet... but I knew I wanted it.  I decided to make knitting needle rolls with it.  Now my needles are nice and orderly.

 My sets of 6" DPNs

 Center left are short circulars. Top are longer circulars.  Right are 9" straights.

Bunnies

I posted the picture of the previous pink bunny on a FB group I'm in and got HIRED to make some!  She asked for 2 girlie bunnies (with a possible 3rd later) so I got these 4 colors of yarn. (they take a thick yarn that I didn't have much stock of, let alone baby colors and I must say the lack of thick baby yarn avaliable is sad.)  I made these 4 and let her choose which she wanted.

She decided to go ahead and take 3 now afterall!  She took the 2 pink and the yellow, and asked me to put a bow on the yellow as well.

Bunny Blanket Buddies

That's their official pattern name.  The white one is only about dish cloth sized tho.  I used a thinner yarn than called for and smaller needles because of that.  The pink one is the size it should be, about 16" to the tips of the ears.
