Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

The end of the year is creeping closer and closer, and I realise that I have neglected my blog over the past month as everything has been rush, rush, rush! 

My crafting time has been spent creating handcrafted Christmas goodies like these...

So now, just as Christmas Eve is drawing ever so near, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Miss J's Cold Rock Birthday Party

Julia is now Miss 7 (where has the time gone!) and this year I took the easy route - her birthday party was at Cold Rock Ice Creamery. What a fantastic party it was! 

All the party goers loved mixing their own Cold Rock ice cream! 

There was dancing and games... 

And I think you can tell that Miss J had a great time. 

Julia's birthday dress was made by Shelli at Shelli Morse Design - on Facebook and shop on madeit.

Made It Monday - A Little Bit of Christmas

I am a little bit proud of how this gorgeous nativity set turned out.

The crochet pattern is easy to follow and the pieces are well designed. 

This set is now on its way to a new family in New Zealand! 

The pattern is by Carolyn Christmas and may be purchased from her website Gourmet Crochet here or via Ravelry here.

Made It Monday - A Bearded Beanie

Where did the rest of October go? It's been a busy time here, with lots of creating but still not much time for blogging! So here's another quick one with a pattern link too. 

This bearded beanie is very easy to make. Miss J was more than happy to do an impression of her Dad for the camera!

The pattern is by Jen Spears and is available as a free download on Ravelry here.

The Gallery - Blech!

Joining Sticky Fingers for The Gallery... the theme this week is "Faces".

Do you remember those faces from the first time your child tried solid food? These pics of Miss J still make me chuckle!
