A Few More Critters and Our Tree

 

Over the past few months, I have been

busy cross stitching away.  I am

so close to catching up to the Animal Advent Stitch A-long  

One cutie at a time..

 

a little thief and a pretty little pig,

 



the dapper Duncan the Dog,

 



Hamilton the Horse - showing off his super cool ugly sweater,

 



Pierre the Penguin, 

 



and a sweet little rabbit.

All finished up and hanging out on our Christmas tree.

 



 

The kids keep bidding on which ornaments they want for their own.

I know that I will have to make another set of these.

What about you?

Have you made anything new for your tree this year?

 

 

I also finally had a chance on writing a

tutorial on how to make these.

You can find it on the Therm-O-Web

blog today.

Blizzard Warning Finished

 I have been busy as a bee setting up Christmas

and getting all prepared for the day.

I had these pretty blocks finished last month

that was created  by Every Trick on the Hook. 

 You can find the block pattern for the blocks over here.
 

  I couldn't decide on what exactly I wanted to do with it. 

 Continue on and make an afghan

or stop and make a pillow.

 



I decided to make a pillow for the couch. 

This is where sewing and crocheting came in handy.

I made two rectangles and sewed them to the wrong side

of the crocheted cover.

 



 

I  then found the most adorable crocheted pom pom trim pattern

over at  Once Upon a Pink Moon
and added them around the edge of the pillow.

I absolutely love the finished product.

So perfect for the kids to rest upon

during Christmas break

 





 

 And a perfect addition to our Christmas decorations.
