Pursue some path...in which you
Can walk with love and reverence.
-Henry David Thoreau
Tick,
tick, tick....I just know that Christmas is almost upon us!! Lol The gift list
is almost done and today I need to get the Christmas tree up. I seem to need a
kick start every year to do that job and I don’t know why, because it looks
pretty cool when it’s done.
I’ve
had a fantastic week and I’m pretty excited to finish a project I’ve just
started on. I was watching Animal Planet the other night and an add I’ve
watched a million times suddenly gave me a wonderful idea. You see some kittens
playing near a crocheted blanket that has Animal Planet on it with felt
letters. I thought to myself wouldn’t it be fun if those words said ‘Welcome to
our awesome library’!! It would be a great addition for next year. I could hang
it as a banner. Well I think it sounds pretty exciting! Lol.
This
is the start of my project....some crocheted squares.
I
sat at our boulevard yesterday selling raffle tickets and decided to sell some
of my beaded dolls and Santa’s and decorations. I decided to clip the brooches
to a knitted bag and thought it made a cute and safe display of them.
I
showed you in a previous post, the little bag I started to crochet for a niece.
Here it is all finished and lined with a lovely floral fabric inside.
Here
is the cute little doll I am going to pop inside the bag. Thanks to Karen for putting the idea into my head about the crocheted bag. Today I will be
making a blanket to wrap the doll up with. Out to the sewing shed I go.
A
couple of very interesting books I found at the local library. Loved the artist’s
house's book, some beautiful gardens and homes on display.

How's the Christmas Tree going?
I love the idea of the welcome blanket for your library. I think that is a wonderful idea.
Have you been having some success with the sale of your beaded dolls? I know they have been on sale at a couple of places.
I really like the way your gorgeous little bag has turned out and the the little doll is the perfect way to finish it off. Your niece will love it!
You have obviously been keeping busy with many projects and activities. Good luck in the run up to Christmas.
Anita... you are a powerhouse! Don't know how you get everything done. I needed a kick in the pants to put our little Christmas tree up today but now that I have... I love it! :o) Gorgeous little doll and bag your niece is going to be over the moon with it.
lots of great craft work going on there Anita...
