Lots of projects in the works here...and even one finished to check off the list! Lilla's soft pink cotton sweater is done. Though it fits her now, it has some growing room. My hope is that she can still wear it come Spring.
My biggest push right now is to complete the Advent calendar garland made with 24 miniature stockings. I have seen this idea presented in the Magic Cabin Dolls catalog and have always wanted to make my own. The stockings are made up from reclaimed woolen sweaters trimmed with salvaged bits of lace, rick rack and buttons. There are still a few more to finish before the weekend. For each day of advent I plan to put in the stocking a treasure, treat or coupon to redeem for some holiday related activity. There are lots of ideas for things to do so as not to fill up with just trinkets, though they probably will get a few of those, too. Many of the activities are things we usually do as a family. As Christmas draws near, the kids are filled with anticipation. My aim is to slow things down to savor the full season. I'm very excited about some of the activities and will share them as they come.

I hate to be seen as a "lurker". Somehow that word seems to have a bad connotation; however I don't intend to have a blog of my own. But I really enjoy seeing your and the other girls' blogs. Lilla and the sweater are beeyoutiful! Keep up the good work and keep the blogs coming. Love, Dad
Lilla is absolutely gorgeous! And you, my friend, truly are so crafty...I can only wish to be as creative as you! Please give all the children a kiss on the cheek for me!
Dad-- that was only a joke! We are glad that you take an interest in our blogs!
SA, the sweater is beautiful and Lilla really looks different to me every day. I am so glad that I get to see how she grows on your blog!
Thanks for the kind comments, guys! And Dad you are not considered a "lurker" in the blog world unless you are a stranger who never leaves comments. It would be fun though if you decided to start a blog..
What a beautiful girl... nice sweater too.
I absolutely love the Magic Cabin Dolls catalog. They have the greatest toys. I remember so many of them from when I was growing up. Romper Stompers anyone?
