Have finished up some xmas projects this past month. I'm still working on a scarf for my daughter that is about half finished. If it was knitted, I'd be done by now but this is woven with a very fine yarn so is taking a long time. I'd bought the kit years ago and forgot about it until I was putting things away in my studio. Will include a pic when I'm done.

The quilt is the one for my SIL (not AnnaMarie :D) I mentioned a while ago that my daughter started years ago and I finished. The stocking is the one I started last year and have finally finished for my granddaughter. The hat I made yesterday but am not that happy with the colors. They looked okay in the store but in the hat there's not enough contrast and the gray and blue colors blended together so they look like the same color. Have ordered new yarn to make another one as I know I won't be happy and don't think my daughter would like it as is. Anyone need a hat? :adoration:

Wow - great work!

That is a nice hat - Josh basically collects hats (or toques, as we call them) but that one might be a bit too pink for him!

A small finish. This is a scarf I made for my son.

I am working on my ornament gifts for this year. I decided to do hand painted ornaments. Here's what I have so far.

These are just beautiful!

Cake decorating may not technically be a craft as much as it is a skill and I'm not the one who did this, but I'm proud of my daughter for taking it on. She was quoted $4-500!! :icon_eek: to do a birthday cake for my granddaughter like a picture she found so she decided to teach herself. She still had the bakery make the cake itself and then took the decorations to them to be put on the cake. Except for the bigger white and yellow flowers on the second level, she made all the other decorations. The bakery was so impressed they put it on their Facebook page for their cakes of the week.

Amazing what a difference color makes. These are exactly the same pattern but look so much different.
