The girls are getting a farm set for Christmas... carved animals from jupiterschild, Engelberger figures, and some scenery. I've been knitting up a farm/field playmat for the animals, and oh man is it tedious work. I'm a novice knitter, so I suppose it's giving me a good amount of practice!
Lellie's (yeah, we've recently started calling N Lellie) uncle bought her a Specialized Bicycle from our local bike shop for her birthday. She has some motor planning issues and her Skuut bike was way too much of a challenge for her (we're passing it down to little Maddie). She really wants to learn to bike, but still doesn't quite grasp the concept of pedaling. I'm hoping to make her a new little pouch for the front of her bike for her nature finds- the cats destroyed the old one.
Also on my crafting list... a papoose carrier for Lellie's baby doll, Lucy. Lucy had worn out rather quickly, and the kind woman who made her, Jan Beane, replaced her. We're currently awaiting Lucy's return :) I'm also hoping to make some doll clothes, wool balls.. a few things.
I need to figure out an Advent wreath, and something for Santa Lucia's day. I've got a lot on my plate!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy creating!
Oh, and we've already put up our Christmas Tree ;)
