xams knitting update

so far so good and I'm even updating this blog! Wow!

Crazy.

In the past two days I finished Alyssa's Hat and baby Steve's pirate doll.


The rest of the stuff I'd like to get done within the week by Dec 1.

I'm going to edit my last post and cross things off my list!!

updates

see how good I am at keeping up with things?

I've been busy, and quite sick!! I've posted a lot of new stuff in my Ravelry notebook including the Pirate doll I'm working on for a friend's son in New Mexico.





It's very nearly done! I'm so happy with the way it's turning out.

I'm trying really hard for a hand-made xmas. I usually go nuts for xmas and spend way too much money and buy (especially MY kids) way too much STUFF. I'm carrying a lot of guilt about that. This year I'm trying really hard to do things differently. Hopefully the grandparents can follow our lead but somehow I doubt it.


I'll post more about my DIY xmas very soon!
