Happy holidays! I am so happy to have finally gifted all of my handmade presents so that I can post pics of them. It's hard to maintain secrecy about these things since most of my family and friends read my blog.
For my Uncle Mike and Aunt Susie I painted a portrait of their dog Lucy. Here's the photo I worked from.
She's such a great dog, and my aunt and uncle are hard to buy for, so what better gift than a painting of their baby?
For my neighbor friend Tracie I embroidered a lucky cat and some sushi. She's a foodie who appreciates handmade gifts. The kanji is supposed to say "happiness" but since I copied it from the internet, it might say something else entirely.
Speaking of potty mouths, this is the finished sampler I made for my Aunt JoAnn. It's a Subversive Crosstitch pattern. I haven't been able to complete the second one I started that rhymes with "cut the duck up" since Kazia can read now. I guess I'll have to save it for Aunt JoAnn's birthday.
I bought this guitar birdhouse from Mad Brain Creations while at Crafty Mart. It's for my cool Uncle Frank who loves to play and make music as well do some great woodworking himself.
Now for a drumroll...
I have teamed up with my great friend Andrea to create the Wool Junkies podcast! It's us talking about our favorite things, like knitting, crocheting, and dogs. We plan on covering other fun stuff as well and have plenty of exciting ideas up our sleeves. Go give us a listen!
