Only one month left!!!

There is only one month left until Christmas, and there is still lots to do.

Most of the presents have been bought and are in the process of being wrapped, the card-making is on the way but most of the home-made presents are still on the hooks/needles...

Last I checked there were 14 gifts to make, still luckily mostly small things, but I am not sure I will finish, although I can always make something less time consuming than on my original plan if I find I don't have enough time. But in the meantime I am trying to crunch out some small finishes so the number of gifts seem smaller and thus less daunting.

And so I have been sewing in yarn-ends, which is not altogether that much fun.

I made a doily today.

I am busy making potholders and cards on the kitchen table.

Firenze Square

One present is finished, and I started it quite some time ago too. at the moment it is blocking.

So that it will go from this, into...

this, minus all the pins.

I had a party with friends doing some crafts and eating some cake which was fun.

Valmin is now a sofa buddy even when my friends are over... Yay, He has come such a long way from the tiny timid little thing.

How are your presents doing? Are you making something this year?

A sneaky Peek

So this is my secret project at the moment. One not secret, which is the blanket that still only has five more squares to go, and the secret which will be a Christmas present.

And in two days I might have another secret which I can tell you. Maybe. Keep your fingers crossed.

Have I told you that I might possibly be the worst person in the world at keeping secrets? I am. 

And I have had this secret for so long but I guess I can keep it in for two more days.

Other than that, today is the day I am vacuuming up under the sofa, so I guess this is the look I will be getting for the rest of the day. 

 If I get to see her face at all, I might just get the "speak to the butt cause the face ain't listening" deal.
