Here it is a new year and I have not shared anything that has happened in the last month of last year. It is time for Jenny Matlock's Alphabe Thursday, so I have decided to continue to post about the projects that are being worked on or finished around here. I missed week F so I am combining it with week G.
Finished projects given as
gifts.
In December I finished number 6 afghan crocheted within a year for our grandsons number 5 birthday celebration.

Wow! You've been busy! Those notebook covers are great! Slurps and yips to Miss Ladybug from Jake and Albert, her distant cousins. ;)
The afghan is beautiful and it certainly looks like it had a handsome, happy, smiling recipient. His cake was wonderful too. The notebooks and apron are adorable. The fabrics and trimmings are so nice. I think they could be made into a great crochet hook case as well (if I was a good with needle and thread as you are). Lovely lovely gifts.
Wow what a great assortment of talent you have! I do like the birthday cake most of all!
Boy, he must be a happy 5-year old with his own beautiful afghan! And the notebook covers look earlly practical! (must have been labor intensive to make):) Happy New Year to you!
These are THE BEST kind of gifts--very useful and made with love! I think my older grandchildren are trying to steer me towards this tradition of homemade gifts. I guess I will just have to succumb! I'll keep you posted!!
Your family and friends are lucky to receive the gifts you make. The reindeer cake must have brought out big smiles when it was unveiled.
Thank you all, but the cake I cannot take credit for, my daughter bought it for the birthday party. Was really cute though.
cool cake Visiting from Jenny matlock
Everything is so cool. I love the notebook covers... they are so neat. Makes me wish I pursued sewing more than I have but alas I only have so much time. The afghan is really neat too. As for the cake... just fun.
You are a busy one! I love the sewing apron!
wow you are very talented. I Love ladybug!!!!
Love, love, love those notebook covers! I want the instructions or the pattern number because I think they are adorable. No wonder you didn't blog everyday, how did you even have time to sleep! You are such a special person and I am so glad to have you as a blog friend!
Great gifts, especially since you stitch in the love as you go.
I think you got a lot accomplished. The afghan is beautiful and I love the gifts you made. That's a cute birthday cake too.
You make lovely gifts! I adore the little notebook covers, those are very very cute!
Oh my gosh I missed this post! WOW! You have been busy! Did you make that reindeer cake? And those notebook covers....LOVE THEM. I think every executive in America should have one! They are so cool. You could sell them you know. Girl know wonder you haven't been posting as often. Busy busy. Looks like your grandson loved his afghan. Sewing room? I thought it was a studio!
