I've Made Friday Week 38

08:00 Cat, Dinosaur, FO, I've Made Friday, Monkey 2 comments

I hope you've all had a good week!

I hope you've got a good weekend planned.

Little Red wants it to be Christmas already

but he'll have to wait a little longer.

This week has been busy.

I've had a stomach infection and a cold

so it's meant a lot of resting.

It's meant I've been able to crochet.

When I get an infection the pain increases and this

is where crocheting becomes a god send.

If I'm crocheting I'm not thinking and focusing on the pain.

I'm soo excited about christmas as well.

I've been sensible this year and paced myself.

I can't go out Christmas shopping.

Even the thought of it drains me.

So a few weeks I spread my shopping over a number of days.

I went through the list and with the help

of hubby we managed to get everyone ticked off.

As each thing has arrived I've wrapped them.

This has meant only a couple of things to wrap each day.

It makes it sooo much easier and uses up only a small amount of energy each day.

Now I know he isn't fantastic but hopefully

Little Red's friend will still like him.

I used the free pattern:

I made a Nessie for Edward the doll:

I also made Little Red a Dinosaur:

I bought this pattern from a set on Etsy:

I hope you are all having a good week!

It's getting cold here and feeling a lot more

like winter.

The decorations are up and the Christmas feeling is here.

1st of all I want to show you the latest

dolls that Answerbrink on Ebay has

for sale.

The auctions finish today.

I wish I had loads of money and could afford another :-)

Now we have a shelf on the elf called Hotsy.

He has been busy this week.

Now the things are elf do are fun but don't involve

scenarios of things that could be deamed naughty.

Ours is a good elf and Little Red's friend.

He has absailed down the mirror in the living room

He brought Little Red's letter back from Santa

as he was really upset he forgot something.

The letter has gone back to Santa now

He has zipped lined from Little Red's bed

And he has been fishing.

I won a fanstic prize from Don't Drool on the Wool

I am going to give this magazine to my Auntie Dolly.

She is a fantastic knitter but forgets to make things for herself.

I'm hoping she'll enjoy the patterns and make something for her.

This Plymouth wool is fantastic and soft.

I'm going to make Little Red a Monster for Christmas.

These tags are beautiful.

I almost think they are too good to put on presents.

This Week I've been making:

A Jaja Bink hat for a friend.

Little Red wanted to try it on.

It doesn't fit cause it's make for a large man

but he did love it.

I've also made a monkey for one of Little Red's friends.

There are six of them in the family.

So there is a lot for me to make.

I hope I finish them in time.

I haven't made as much as I would like.
I've been having to have a sleep during the day
as my fatigue is a bit worse this week.
Little Red has also been ill.
He was off school for a couple of days
as he wasn't at all well.
To cheer him up we made some snowmen in a jar.
Little Red made a full snowman:
