Christmas craftiness revealed...

I told you I'd have to wait till after Christmas gifts had been given to put up the product of my last few weeks of crafting. Well, these gifts have been given, so up and onward. I am a genius and forgot to take pics of what I made for my sister, the commissioned wallet I sent to Annaliese, the tie wallet I made for LCRP (Lord Captain Richie Poo) and a couple of other things. Here is what I've got, though.

I made two holders for my mom's knitting needles, both straight and circular, and there they are. First, the circular one:

Then the straight one:

For Amanda, I made a set of appliqued dishtowels and some washcloth dishcloths to match. Here are the dishtowels:

For Trish, she asked for a checkbook holder that will hold both her business and her personal checkbooks at the same time. So, I figured one out and freehanded a mermaid to applique on the front of it

These are not crafty, but I cannot resist.

Here are the two boys I love more than life, my wonderful husband John is there on the left, and my psuedo-brother, Chase, is there on the right. These two are pretty much the center of my daily life, and I don't know what I would do without either of them

Here is LCRP with the shirt Trish had made for him for Christmas. If you don't know why it's funny, I'll tell you. LCRP teaches a Captain's course that he's pretty much pimping 24/7, and always talking about it on his blog. Trish has resigned herself to the fact that he's always talking about his course, and has decided to embrace it for its sheer ridiculousness.

John and Dexter curled on the couch at my parents' house in Yelm on Christmas Eve. They are both floppy and silly and I adore them.

Ok. That's all I'll subject you to for now. I have to get back to reading "I Am Legend" and scaring the shit out of myself. If it weren't a borrowed book I would put it in the freezer tonight.
