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.
