Fiddlesticks - My crochet and knitting ramblings.

Good Sunday morning Blogsters! I am coming to you from the sofa, sitting in front of a "Jesse Stone" movie, and let me tell ya...Tom Selleck definitely has his game on! It is cold and rainy outside, so I'm thinking a day in the pj's may be in order!! My knitting is to the right of me, my knitting bag to the left of me...so I have all my needs taken care of!

I would love to share some more Christmas photos with you!

The wreath is on the front door to greet you as you come in...so come on in!

With a special Christmas wish to all, "Peace"....

Now have a seat and put your feet up, enjoy the tree...

Phoebe loves Christmas Company!!

Here is a special ornament I would love to share with you all!

Made by my sister, with beads and perforated paper.
It is a tiny work of art!

Hootie Owl sets atop my tree every year!!!

Friday I took a vacation day from work and spent it with my folks. We did a little Christmas shopping, had some lunch, and relaxed a bit! It was great. I carried my camera in tow, because Mom has some beautiful crochet afghans and pillows that I find quite beautiful! I wanted you all to have a chance to see them!

Looky!!! These afghans were done my my grandmas! I love the ripple. I usually end up snuggled up beneath it every time I go over to mom's!

I would really like to take a crack at making that round pillow. I think the pattern is called "Jacob's Ladder". I am thinking my bed needs some crocheted pillows to dress it up and make it cozy...this would be perfect! Anyone know where I could find the pattern????

When leaving my mom's on Friday she handed me a sock monkey and asked if I could dress him up with a hat and scarf. OF COURSE I COULD! I was chompin' at the bit to get started on it...finished it that night. Now I ask you....how cute is this little guy?

An instant smile comes to my face when I look at him! He has spent the last couple of days with me, I do think he has enjoyed his time with us!

He was a bit laid back!!

And got a bit wild! He was even dancing at one point! LOL

So it's back to mom's where he will be made to behave! I had so much making his little hat and scarf that I will be making one for my sock monkey!!! I think my sock monkey is a girl...so a skirt will also be needed for her! Naked monkeys tend to get naughty!!!

THE SNOWMAN WORKSHOP is still in full mode! I have finished a couple more and have another on the needles!

Ain't he cute?

And this guy? That little hat is killin me!

I am so happy I jumped into the snowman world! And I am really gonna miss these little guys when they get sent off to their destinations!!!! I have more to be made, so I am hoping do that today...perfect, Christmas movies, nasty weather, and being warm and cozy making snowmen!!! Sounds like a perfect Sunday to me!!!!

I promise I will be back in a couple days with more stuff to share! I love this time of year...it's packed full of fun stuff to get done!

TA-TA for now!
