I was so swamped in the weeks leading up to Christmas that gift-making
wasn't even an option, and since Christmas gifts should never be made before December (I'm pretty sure that's a rule), I didn't have anything prepared. I'd feel bad about it and then just try to
ignore it, because gifts and stuff aren't the point, anyway, right? I like to make things, though, and just because I
was struggling to find time to create didn't bar me from
aiding the children. They made so many wonderful things, only
some of which I took pictures of before they were gone-- hats, a
knitted kerchief, SO many dishcloths, bracelets, potholders, and SO many
little appliqued pouches (tutorial here). All three of the bigger girls took a break
from dishcloths and tried their hand at those, with great success.
And I still love the zipper tabs.
Same pattern: same girl: same grin: two colors.
A phoebe for Phoebe.
Piper's first applique . She was so delighted, which made me delighted, too.
