vintage pixie hat & a squirrel purse...

 
I don't believe I've ever introduced you all to my newest niece, Annelise!
Isn't she just the cutest thing?
I made her this hat for Christmas & gave it to her early so she could get some good use out of it.
 
 
She also received a wee bolero just like her cousin Abbey, only smaller. ;)
 
This squirrel purse was made for my Aunt Becky.
She LOVES squirrels.
She feeds them cookies.
So they love her back. ;)
 

Acorn fabric for the lining, naturally.



Only gifts left to make are a lacy shawl (on the needles now) for Momma.
Made of the finest fuzzy lace yarn I have ever used. (Finer than frog's hair as Dad would say.)
& a cable knit sweater for my sister Aimee.
Made of grey wool. Cuz Aims likes her "Sombertown" garb. (Just kidding Aim!)
Oh, and a couple pies for the Bros.
Made of deliciousness.
The end is near! :P
 
How are your projects coming along?

  2. I've been eating. Selfish, huh! I hoped we'd get together for coffee and gab but time is a flying and I know everyone's busy. Still.....Your gifts are sweet, sweet, sweet, just like Kels' baby girl. WHAT a cutie. Love the squirrel bag and expecially the acorn lining. Merry Christmas friend!

    1. Aw thanks, Sarah! You're so sweet. I wish I had more knitting friends around here to have a knitting bee with. Wouldn't that be fun?! :) I always think your knits are so lovely.

  4. Annelise is just adorable, and that pixie hat is the cutest!! Goes so well with her cheeks! ;-)

    We all love that squirrel purse!

    As for my projects... let's not go there. ;-) I'm thinking Twelfth Night gifts might be happening instead...! On the bright side, I *have* been able to do holiday-related paper crafting. :-)

    1. She does have such pinchable cheeks! ^_^

      Every year I say I'm going to start my gifts early to get them all done....never happens. I always bite off more than I can chew.

      Bravo on the paper crafting! :D
