Check out my Etsy Shop!
It's beginning to look a lot like...
December 22, 2007
Christmas! Our house has been a flutter with printing, sewing, painting, decorating, baking, and wrapping for the last few days. The above shot is several copies of this years print laid out to dry; they were printed about a week ago and will hopefully go out in the mail today.
The hand painted wrap is being produced as we need it this year, but here's a shot of some of the gifts:
The cinnamon rolls were finally baked on Thursday, but I didn't take any photos. It seemed a little unfair to show you guys picture of yummy food that you can't eat; especially since I can't share the top secret family recipe.
We even have a decorated tree at our house! And I finished the shopping yesterday!
The knitting, well, is not going to all get done. I have 1 3/4 knitted gifts finished. I can't tell you what the finished one is, but I have 3/4 of a pair of fetching that I should be able to finish tonight. And I have another super top secret gift that is going to only get half done. :( Plus, I haven't even started on the sleeves for the toddler's sweater. I doubt that he'll be wearing it to church on Christmas Eve. That's the one thing I let go of. And I'm really okay with it. Really, I AM!
The rain has already started and should change to snow sometime this afternoon. We're expecting only a couple of inches, but it'll still be pretty. I'll paint the last of the wrapping paper once the toddler is down for his nap and finish wrapping the last few gifts this afternoon or tonight. Then I can curl up on the couch in view of the tree and knit the night away.
Upcoming things I have to share:
The Sweet Goodness Holiday Swap Packages 1 and 2
The quilt I finished for my mom
And a tutorial on quilt binding
Plus, photos of all those hand knit gifts I've been hiding and the tree.
