Counting down the days...

Do you realize there are only 58 days until Christmas!?! That really isn't a lot of time if you are doing a handmade Christmas! It also doesn't help when I keep running across adorable patterns that I want to make! This months issue of Talking Crochet has a free pattern from Crochet! magazine for the most adorable Christmas ornaments. (I know that is adorable twice in the same paragraph, but they really are!) You can get the pattern here. It includes a reindeer, snowman, gingy, and elf.

I have 4 blocks done on J's pillowgan, only 20 to go. Each of the kids has a hat made up. Still haven't made the pattern for the girls headbands. I also want to make the girls some necklaces and maybe earrings from some beads I have. J is difficult as I really don't know what to make for an 11 year old boy. Any ideas out there?

Love,
