A Christmas in Stitches

This Christmas I was very very busy. We were trying to keep costs down this year so I made several gifts for the kids in our family. It was so much fun to work on these projects and actually see them come out and look AWESOME!!! I know, I know, I shouldn't toot my own horn, but these things are freaking cool.


I made this one for my niece Sadie. I had to mess with the pattern a little because it was a tad too small, but after a few extra rows it fits great.






Fot those of you who are familiar with the T.V. show Firefly, this hat is originally in yellow and red and made for one Jayne Cob. If you like Sci Fi mixed with Chinese and old Western Themes and Joss Whedon then this is the show for you.
I made this one for my nephew Curtis and in the Oregon Ducks Colors. He is a huge Ducks fan and was able to go to the championship game. I never thought I would be jealous of my nephew, but let me tell you, I so was.

(my favorite model)



This is a fun one for my niece who is a little over 1. I want to call her Addy just to tick off her mom but I wont. From what I hear, Addy, I mean Della, really loves it.
Elephant

I have new nephew who's mom REALLY like elephants. So I made them this little beauty, the tag said, "To Aiden (but really for Erin)". Cause we all know gifts for babies are really for the parents. Out of all the gifts I made, this was the one I wanted to keep for my self the most.
Did you make any gifts for Christmas? What were your favorites? Share pictures, recipes, patterns, and how-to's with all of us. It could be fun.

  1. Will you post a picture of your collar/scarf that you wore with your coat last sunday. I want a friend of mine to see it... I'm not doing a very good job of describing it to her.

    And, Just so you know if I were going to have another girl her name would be Addy (Addison). But, since I'm not, maybe you should. I love that name.

  2. Thank you for NOT calling her Addy. It really would tick me off :) And yes, she LOVES the caterpillar. She sleeps with it and with the blanket you made her.
    The slouch beanie is pretty sweet.
