What You Doing Wednesday Week 38

08:00 Elf, Mittens, What You Doing Wednesday, WIP No comments

I hope you are all having a good week!

We are trying to get everything made and

ready for Christmas.

I'm being really good and starting and finishing

each project before I go onto the next.

At the moment I'm making:

Some Mittens

I am making them from this pattern:

http://www.crochetme.com/media/p/109505.aspx

I gave a little girl my son knows

the turkey hat I made.

She has been asking for some mittens to match.

I'm going to put the turkey design on as soon as they are finished.

As I'm making and finishing each item

I haven't really got any WIPs to show you at the moment.

I do have all those other WIPs that I showed you the other week

but I'm only going to show them again once

I have chance to start finishing them off.

We've been having more fun with Hotsy the elf this week

He's been walking his dog He has been celebrating Movember

He's been riding his dinosaur and he has been skiing.

Sorry no futher on the reading.

1st I got a nasty stomach bug and then straight into a full blown cold.

consentration isn't up to reading at the moment.

Hopefully we'll be back on track soon.

I've also got a little something to let you know about.
Below is a message from Joyce from

VliegendeHollander

"Christmas Time is almost there! The time of sharing, giving and helping someone else.

Do you have any yarn left overs laying around, small skeins or little balls of yarn you don't use anymore? Think about donating them to me! I only work with donated yarn to save as much money as possible for realizing my art projects and exhibitions (which can be found at j-o-y-c-e.com), and of course: the more

yarn the merrier! ^^

In return you may pick any 10 patterns in my Etsy store. Any patterns you want! This way, we'll help each other out. :)

(My shipping address can be found here:

Thanks! :)
Sharing is caring! ^^"

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect.

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:

And then we made a melted snowman

They are really easy to make.

We used cotton wool as the snow.

Cut out felt for the hat and buttons.

The nose was just a cut piece of paper.

Little Red's nose was made out of a bit of felted wool.

This week I read:

Midnight: Century of the Vampires (Vampire Dystopia)

by Ami Blackwelder

Midnight: Century of the Vampires (Midnight, 1)

Wow I really enjoyed this story.

It's a Vampire story with a lot of twists

and not your normal run of the mill story.

The main characters Aura & Mark

are trying to survive in a world where Vampires

have taken over.

There aren't many humans left.

They survive and try and fight and kill

some of the Vampires when they can.

They live in a world where you are constantly

trying to keep yourself alive.

I give this book

4 out of 5.

Now it's your turn.

Show us what you've been making.

It doesn't have to crocheted.

Anything you have made is brilliant to see.
