I have been busy crocheting and other DIYing crafts since funds are very tight for Xmas. I've made crochet ear warmers, slouchy beret hats, flowers for the hair and tile coasters. I've got a few more items to make then after Christmas I will be making afghans for family members for next Christmas. Yes, I'm already planning for next year. Disgusting right?

Bites:
4 eggs, 2 pieces of rye bread, 2 slices of cheese
1 large hamburger, caramalized onions, 3 eggs, mayo al mixed together.
1 1/2 cups of sugar free pudding
Dinner: Pending

Vites:
Morning - Done
Calcium - done

No exercise.

I'm impressed and envious, I started a felt Christmas stocking for my grandson's girlfriend and I'm not sure its going to be finished.

Handmade gifts are the best and I bet yours are beautiful.

Nice looking Bites today.

I'm currently working on this beret.


Here is some of what I have already done.
Berets for my step daughter. She is always wearing one so she will have three new ones.


Ear warmers.  These go fast and so after I make the new red beret that I am working on I will make a bunch more of these along with some wrist warmers for extended family members.


Stepdaughter that likes hats also likes flowers and things to put in her hair. You would think she was 9, but she will be 21 next month!  The back flower (teal / white / black) is a headband.)


These are coasters, or will be when I am finished with them. They require a couple coats of a waterproof glaze. I was waiting for the glue to dry. I have 5 more sets of these (5 coasters in each set) to make. The cost for each set of 5 costers is about (or less) than $1.50.  I hope between the ear warmers, handwarmers and the coasters it doesn't look cheap.  


I will also be decorating some sugar cookies with royal icing and making rolled cookie dough to give to the family members as well so that they can slice and cook cookies when they want. Cuts out the time consuming cooking part for me!

Maddie,
These are all so cute!!!!

I hope to get labs done this week, depending on my work schedule. I've noticed some leg cramps in the last few weeks. Of course, I've had trouble with that on and off for years, so I'm not overly concerned.

Good news about the weather. I can deal with cold, it's the rain, sleet and snow I'm not crazy about walking in.
