I knitted 7 hats this year.

I did lots of organizing of scraps-and still have a ways to go.

Made lots of fun projects, including this Super hero cape for my son. More can be found on the Fabric tab.

Lots of bags,

an ABC book,

and other fun projects can be found on the Fabric tab.

I have many fun projects and ideas for 2018, we'll see how many I actually get too.

Happy New Year!

So I failed at staying up with the kids to watch the ball drop on TV. I fell asleep around 9:30. (But I get up at 5 AM for work, so my body doesn't like to stay up late).

I got a pattern from someone on FB. I've been looking all over for this pattern and couldn't find it, and someone offered to send it to me. My plan is to make memory bears out of my FIL's clothes.

To practice I made a Halloween bear.

2 hats

It's been a very rough Christmas. My FIL died suddenly just before Christmas. His funeral was held the day after Christmas. Emotional highs and lows all week. My 3 year old couldn't understand why everyone was sad and upset.

In between I did get 2 hats done. One for my 3 year old. And the other for a nephew due in March.

Christmas Tree skirt

I've been wanting to make a tree skirt for a while and I finally made one.

Arm Sling

Thanksgiving day I ended up taking the 3 year old to the hospital. Doctor didn't think anything was broken and was going to send us home. We insisted on an x-ray. He broke his collar bone. They sent us home with instructions to call Ortho on Monday. Took him in Monday and got sent home with the smallest sling they had. It fits my 13 year old. So this morning while everyone was still sleeping I made him a sling.

DITLx2

Yesterday I put together two Day in The Life's(DITL) spreads for my PL 2017 album. One is from January and one is from November.

(I have no idea why this one is upside down. Took the pictures with my phone)
