Sickies.

Mr. Man is home with me today. He started feeling a little under the weather on Friday and, despite being a champ and helping to pick out and decorate the tree on Saturday, can't seem to shake this fever and stuffy head he has. No fun. We did get to do a few holiday crafts.

Here's our paper chain...

These are 2 of my favorite decorations. The one on the left is a ceramic ornament made by our friend Amy. She used Mexican wedding lace to give it texture, which I love. Henry and I made the one on the right by dipping a long strand of yarn in a glue solution, wrapping it around a small balloon and sprinkling it with silver glitter. We let it dry over night, popped the balloon and viola!

All done.


I also finished Shelley's black dog customs.


Woof Woof!

Also, Sage Skully Lounge Sets in size 4/5 are here! And Knit Pirate and Quilt Pirate Coaster Sets are also in stock and would make fabulous stocking stuffers for the crafty folks in your life!

Which yarn do you use, if I may ask?

Awww, sorry to hear Henry is under the weather- unfortunately, 'tis the season for that, too. But your tree looks fabulous, and I love the ornaments!
