This Christmas was probably one of my all time favourite. I think it is because I now have a toddler that is so excited about...well, everything. It really inspired me to make the holidays as bright as I could. I tried to make all our Christmas gifts this year, as many that time would allow, and included Odessa in the making process where I could. Stella was there helping too, although, I think she will get more out of it next year.
Instead of her toys, Odessa played with breakable Christmas ornaments. I would hang them up high, and she would figure out how to get them down. I can't tell you how many times I said the words "put it back" and how many times she responded "no, mommy".
Stella really does like Christmas - just not hats.
So, so much icing was consumed in this gingerbread making session.
I started gathering Christmas recipes this year, something I have never done before. I am pleased to tell you that this will be made every year from now on.
I made this for my mom - I call it a "knitting needle roll-up". Great for storing all her knitting needles and crochet hooks.
This bag was sewn for my sister. It is an Amy Butler pattern which I love. I'm thinking about making one for myself as well.
lots and lots of chopped ginger to make...
lots and lots of this!
Small loaves of gingerbread were given to family and friends.

Hey Al,
I really like your knitting needle roll-up thing. I have one for my paint brushes- it works very well!
