Christmas projects

Yikes! I meant to post during the month of October...oops! I also need to get on the ball and post some pictures. I'm terrible about that-terribly lazy. ;)

My Christmas projects are coming along nicely. I have one more slipper sock to complete and then they will be finished. I sort of slacked off a little-my mom was visiting in October, and I couldn't really work on her Christmas present right in front of her! ;)

I've also almost completed my first crochet project-I am making purses for the older girls-Boo's is complete except for the fringe. I'm currently working on T's. I haven't decided if I'll sew in snaps or velcro so they can shut them-so I decided to hold off on the fringe of Boo's until T's is ready for fringe as well.

I've started another purse for Mellon (hey, she may only be almost 2, but she's old enough to want what her big sisters want.) I'm knitting a bag that needs to be felted (my first felting project!). It has thicker handles that she can grab onto. This project knits up real fast-so I think the thing that will take time will be the felting. If I have enough time to knit this weekend, I may actually get all the knitting for it done.

I'm also working on a headband and scarf set for Shan-she saw T and Boo's scarves I made last year and really liked them. I promised her awhile ago that I'd make her something, so hopefully I will have this completed before Christmas, too. ;)

Well, I guess that's all for now-maybe I'll get around to posting some pics before I leave next month! ;)
