Christmas gifts are being made! We realized this week that a Christmas tree will never fit in our tiny apartment...not sure how we are going to do this here!
A clay necklace Dd is making, this is step one. She has put engraved designs on some of the pieces...something to do with the Percy Jackson series.

| I'm making two 'baby", "Lovey" blankets; one is knitted (and left in Indiana for now) and this is the second one and is crocheted. This crocheted one I have worked on all this week. |
 |
| This is a scarf, Dd made, for a niece (Norah)---to match with the red poncho her aunt is going to get for Christmas. |

| This headband is for Norah's new baby sister, Charlotte. Made by Dd. |
 |
| Dd is making an infinity scarf for herself. All our scarves (and most of our winter clothing) are inside a storage box, so we need to make ourselves some replacements to get us through the winter. |
 |
| This is the red poncho that Dd is making for Aunt April. |
 |
| This is the blanket I am crocheting for Dd, for Christmas. She picked black since I wouldn't let her pick neon colors! I don't think the picture is doing a good job of showing just how big it is getting! I just bought three more skeins on Tuesday to add to it. |
 |
| This is how big/thick it is so far. |

 |
| This is after the pieces have dried a while-step two...many to follow. Cordial: Dd made a 'cordial'; like Lucy's from Narnia, to attach to a belt, she found the right bottle and made a holster for it out of chop-sticks, and hot glue gun glue. She worked for days on it.     The finished project; now it just needs to be worn around her hip! I bet she makes a belt for it.  |

| Dd made an asparagus & carrot dish |
