Craftiness abounds this holiday season! There are several Christmas-related projects that I can't post just yet, but here is a glimpse of some other things we've been up to.
I'm knitting up a storm, and it feels SO GOOD!!! I knit this scarf out of alpaca and I sewed it into an infinity scarf. I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do!
I knit a hat that I was hoping Zoe would wear, but when she refused I donated it to the LCN Project Hope Gift Drive. It was a little big for her, so she and I picked out a new pattern and yarn together this morning.
Zoe & Silas were VIP's at school in November. We spent a lot of time making their poster boards, so we decided to hang them in their bedroom. They love looking at all of the pictures of the important people in their lives.
There is a new Winter Farmer's Market in JP. Last weekend there was a craft project where the kids made holiday candle holders out of the tops of 2 L soda bottles.. We added the candles to our yule log centerpiece, and we have been enjoying many a lunch and dinner by candlelight this month.
Several of our Christmas gifts utilized some of S&Z's paintings, so after nap today I set up shop to create some new masterpieces.

I've got 3 other projects in the works right now and 3 more waiting in the queue. I picked up knitting again in November after a 3-1/2 year hiatus and I am definitely back to my old obsessed self.
Our Christmas cards this year were a labor of love. I had a vision, and the vision required some accouterments. I am so happy with how they turned out, thanks to the most adorable picture + a snowflake hole punch that has been lying dormant in my craft box since the early 2000's.
We always have lots of drawings hanging up on the refrigerator. Here is the latest addition (note the title)-

Even though Silas is really sick with a stomach virus, they were so excited to get to work!
After they each completed a project we poured new colors and they made another painting.
The finished works of art are drying on the Ikea wire hanger in the hallway.
Another crafty project that I completed recently was to frame two paintings that we made on the back deck this summer. I cut an inexpensive mat from AC Moore and then mounted the paintings on top of the mat.
Happy Crafting!!!
