Cozy Weather Catch Up

I have been busy! I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that though, do I? This is a major catch up post. so, grab a cuppa tea, and cuddle up under your afghan… xo

So yah, I am totally loving this cozy weather. Wearin my sweater dresses, tights, drinking mad amounts of tea. Baking like a maniac… girl, I know… you too… I saw those snowflake cookies you posted on instagram!

Have you gotten started on Holiday gifts? I try to make most gifts, but I do buy my kids each one thing. I know they will be looking here to see if I spill about what I got them, but there will be none of that this year! Do you need some project ideas? No worries, I got you.

Here’s what’s in my work basket for the holidays. If you are one of my family members, please look away now. Nobody knows who is getting what, but they all see me working on things…

washi tapes for the cool new paper gift wrap kits! come get em at DUCF this weekend {12/1-12/2, Detroit MI}
I'm loving these colors! #crochet #crochetaddict #indielovely #mycraftaddiction #shorethingscarf #wip #handmadeholidays #handmade

Sewed the pieces together... Now to do the faces. I'm reading advice from wild olive. This has never gone well for me, I'm having a bit of crafter anxiety. Lol #falalalafelt #handmadeholidays #felt #sewing #embroidery #indielovely #mycraftaddiction

My 16 yr old borrowed my glue gun last week. I just found this in the bathroom. I am so proud right now I want to cry.

I’ve been working with these colors… but hadn’t gotten it right, but I think this is it!

I hope you had a chance to look at the indie lovely holiday shopping {and making} guide… If not, you really should. I’m totally loving being able to self publish… So worth that month crash course learning indesign. It has opened up so many possibilities… so now I’m working on interactive look books, publishing patterns as fancy e-books, and other fun stuff!

Well I better get back to it. I have so much to do before this weekend!
chat soon!

Your projects all look so great! I want to steal the shore thing scarf [it’s very cold here] – I might just have to make one for myself. AFTER the Holiday crafting, of course! 😀

it’s a nice pattern once you figure it out. It took me a minute since I had a lot of distractions while trying to learn it.

Loving all your WIP and the colors you are using are perfect for this time of year. Wondering about your fleece-lined tights… Have a couple friends who have gotten them, but have always wondered if they aren’t super thick feeling??

Anne December 12, 2012 at 7:20 pm

thanks! the fleece lined tights feel like cozy leggings. I love them. alot.
