Finished a couple of Christmas cards

Actually I am also in the process of knitting yet another scarf but this time accompanied by a hat; I got myself this gorgeous red wool and I'd love to be festive. My green scarf was done last week, so all in all I am well kitted. Maybe I'll try red gloves later? Will see...

And another Xmas card I've already sent to Marta, she kindly sent me a photo back as I've forgotten to do it! :o))

Spoilt for choice really, and we are still in November. By Christmas I'll see loads ...

Finished a few things

My 4th day from 12 Days of Christmas is finally finished! Took me much longer than the other 3 as I was also stitching a gift for a friend's birthday. Also I was finishing some other cross stitch, reading my books for the book club on 15 Dec, attending choir practice for carol singing on 18 Dec, and rehearsals for the pantomime on 10 Dec, making the right envelopes for my other Christmas cards, (as the size was a bit awkward, I found a pattern on somebody's Picasa site and managed to get it to the square I needed), knitting another scarf as I remembered where I stored my green fancy wool, etc, etc, etc. Getting really busy over here!

And something I could not pass by ...

... without taking a photo of, too cute! Now, who would want to eat him???
