Right down to the wire … but all my projects are done and we will be delivered tomorrow!!! 
I will be heading to North Carolina in the wee hours on a road trip with my two sisters and next to oldest niece. The trip is going to be half of the adventure
We will be welcoming little Sophie into this world on Wednesday … I can’t wait! 
Along with various and sundry baby items I made her a sweet rag quilt. Totally loving how it turned out. I used a really soft lining and it soooo squishy
I also made Alex a baby book for Sophie. Lots of room for pictures and saving those little keepsakes. This one took me 4 nights of non-stop creation lol … LOTS of fussy cutting 
I helped my niece make this huge S for Sophie’s room. It turned out sooo stinkin’ cute
So y’all behave while I’m gone I’ll be back sometime Friday.

Been working on Christmas presents the past few months. This year all the girls are getting little cubbie boxes. I’m quite happy with how they are turning out 
They are approx. 14 x 12 x 6
Four down … Four to go LOL

Thanks HB … they are pretty time consuming … but boy, I love how they turn out. So dang adorable, if I do say so myself 
Working on sweet, tiny albums as little stocking stuffer type gifts.
This is one I did for my sister with my parents, grandparents and great grandparents in it. Each sibling is getting one. I’m also making one for my sister in law with her family of course It will hold 16 pics.
I got the template and idea from Nik the Booksmith. I love her creative mind

As I mentioned in our recent Friday thread, I was finishing up a new blanket and promised to post
She’s all done and delivered and she’s a big, cuddly, beauty! This blankie is about 58x74. Not many will want to know but just in case … it’s done with the griddle stitch and a 7mm hook.
My Niece loved it

Hi KitchWitch,
You are superb in your artwork. I am very pleased to see your masterpieces. These pieces really reflect your creativity and deep interest. Can’t wait to see more!
Cheers,
Since we are not having our annual HUGE family get together this Christmas. I’m not making any grand things for the older folks. I’ll still get the littles some things that I’ll fling in the cars as they pass by I’m also making some little jewelry type items and the man is etching brass and making really nice key chains for everyone. All stuff is mailable if I have to.
But, I had to make my yearly ornament. So this year I decided on hand sewn little gems. These are very reminiscent of the red and white Swedish ornaments my great Grandmother had. I could have gone that route … but no one would really get the symbolism. So I just went with white and different colors as it will pretty much match everyone’s tree. They are all about 4x4. They were a lot of fun to make … except for when I inevitably poke a finger here and there
This will be the first time ever we have not all gotten together as a family on Christmas. Other holidays folks have always done their own thing … but Christmas was the one time of year you got to see everyone you have been missing. It’s a very strange feeling I’m having about it though.
On one hand I’m really bummed out. I love seeing everyone and having our breakfast feast and flapping the old gums for hours, listening to the kids have a blast and sharing old family memories. But, on the other hand I’m relieved. There is no stress, no baking until the wee hours, no worries of trying to find new outfits, etc.
It’s an odd time we are living in for sure.

When my Grandma died (about 20 years ago now) that was the end of family gatherings. I am gonna miss going out for a Christmas/New Years dinner with my friends though. A few of them are ok with Covid and maybe coming over for a nosh and a cider, but a few aren’t, since I’m out in the wild with work. Those, I’ll call.
My stepgram used to do a lot of crafting. I still have the Roosevelt Teddy she made for me. It even has the turning leg and arm joints. So cool!

I’ve never made anything like that before. How great that you still have it!
and for everything else I find myself saying “Thanks Covid!” for a lot of things lately … mostly in a humorous way though
Being the introverted hermit that I am, a little social time goes a long way. As I said I will miss Christmas … but missing some other things that normally would have happened have not broken my heart lol 
This may be TMI but since we have had no vehicle for a few months, I literally have not stepped foot out of the house until recently for a doc appt and then for some food shopping with my sister. I almost forgot how to dress and put on make up lolol I actually had to stop at one point when it dawned on me “oh yeah, I need a bra”.
Ah ha ha, you sound like my sister! She doesn’t go out much (works from home) and when she does, the first thing off after coming back home is that! LOL!
