A couple crafts from December:

They all look the same other than the name on the fallen pin.
I made them very NON-Christmas colors by going with brown for the lanes, put on guide triangles, I felt like a banner was the right choice for the team name and the year and red string because they wear red shirts. I'm pretty happy with them. If I'd had more time, I think I'd have done a much better job, but she's thrilled with them and I can only assume they loved them.
I also made a jewelry set for my husband's oldest sister's birthday. She's really into tea parties and collects teacups and saucers and I've never made her anything before so I wanted to go all out.
Earrings:

a necklace:

and a pretty fantastic charm bracelet (if I do say so myself):


And finally, a project I made for my almost-six-year-old daughter which took several days of hand sewing and plotting, planning and using no pattern, I made this nutcracker plushie because she's completely nuts (that pun was unintentional but I'm keeping it) over nutcrackers and THE nutcracker.



I'm particularly proud of the boots because I had absolutely not a clue how I was going to do them but they're my favorite part.
and finally, his face:

And here you can see him hiding in one of my craft cabinets before the holidays (his paint was drying) because she never goes in there.

(summary: ornaments, tea-party themed jewelry set, plush nutcracker)
Thanks for looking!! :-D
