Doll Sweater

I've got the doll sweater back out now that the hats are done.  The sleeves are on waste yarn.  I'm maybe 1/3 of the way down the length of the sweater.  It's going pretty quick now.  

More Wine Jewelry

Made for another friend's birthday. Here is a picture she shared with me.

Xmas Hats

I've started whipping stuff out and stashing it for Xmas. Thanks to my friend sharing her owl hat pattern with me, I've got a new style for the kiddos. These are for Little Bit and the Little Man.

New Crafter

Well we have a new Crafter in the house. My oldest has been sucked in finally and now crafting up a storm.

For her birthday she got jewelry making tools and has started making earrings. Here is her first pair. The picture isn't the best it was taken on my phone. She made a bunch more later but since they are gifts for family, I won't post those yet.

Sewing Kit

Little Bit set up a sewing kit for herself. She now has a passion for hand sewing, which comes as no surprise to me. Every seamstress has a cute little tomato pin cushion. Well Little Bit has a blueberry pin cushion she made. She also added a needle case to her kit.

Hand Sewing

Although Little Bit is a near master of the sewing machine I've somehow never showed her how to hand sew an item. After a new library book hit the house, she decided to have a go at it. She copied the pattern, cut out the fabric, and hand sewed the little creature below for her brother.

Owl Drawings

The kids and I are reading Poppy by Avi for their Book Club.  They attend once a week and have activities that go along with their reading assignments.  This week the kids and I have gone owl wild in honor of our book.  My friends owl hat came at a perfect time.

For our art lesson today we did a pencil drawing then colored in with colored pencils.  We used an Usborne drawing book for our lesson.  I think the kiddos did a really great job!  

Here are Little Bit's, The Little Boy's, and mine.

Little Bit's Art

Little Boy's Art

I usually draw/paint along with the kids to make it more fun for them.  A family affair.
Thought I would include mine too!  

Doll Sweater

I am making a sweater for Little Bit's doll for Christmas.  It is based off a friend's pattern she posted on her blog.  I am using sock yarn in a fabulous pink, purple, green color.  I will probably work on matching hat to go with it.  I have finished the neck, and down to needing to break off the sleeves and work on the body. 

Wide Awake Owl

Here is the little owl hat I was hired out to make for a friend.  Little Bit was my color consultant.  We were told to go "earthy" in our color scheme.  This is a pattern purchased from Etsy called the Wide Awake Owl.  I think it turned out very cute and can't wait to see it on the little one's head when she gets it.
