Christmas Gifts Galore!!

So I promised to show you guys my gifts that I gave at Christmas so here goes! The first one is a hedgehog which I gave to my sister Jessica of Jessica Leigh La Lou. I love this little guy so much!! He is probably my favorite I made this year.

This was a gift to my brother on his birthday which is in December(oops! sorry Michael!!) and I forgot to post about it so I thought I would just throw it in with this post anyways... As you can see it is a wrestler who is very proud of his muscles.

This was Michael's Christmas gift: a guinnea pig made to look like his pet, complete with a ninja mask.

This panda was my sister Kaitlyn's gift since she has a love of them. I made him a little hat, which made Kaitlyn call him the party panda :D

This cowboy dachshund was a gift for my dad, which is kind of a tradition, in that every year I proceed to give him yet again another dachshund, since I know he loves them so.

And lastly my mom recieved the only non-doll gift of the year: a scarf. She likes it even though I accidently made the mistake of buying two color different skeins of yarn although luckily of the same wieght and texture...could you tell?

Well, this wraps up the gifts I gave for this Christmas, which was pretty splendid in my book. I enjoyed it so much!! I loved spending time with my family as well as getting some pretty good gifts, one that I have been wanting for a while: A CAMERA!!!! Of my very own!! I love it so..... I have been testing it out and trying to see what will work and what won't. How was everyone else's celebrations? Did you get what you have been wanting so desperately?

Yarn Crawl Fun

Last weekend my sister Kaitlyn, my mom, and I all piled into the car and drove through the Texas Hill Country for the 2009 Yarn Crawl. It was my first time going to it and I am so glad I did! It was a total blast. The company was the best anyone could wish for, and the ride was full of laughter and fun. I loved going to all the shops, and it was really interesting to see the ones I had never been to before. I got a free gift at each one of the shops we stopped at, and had my yarn crawl passport stamped. I really enjoyed this part of it because alot of the shops gave yarn and a patterns too! I love free gifts...Don't you? It was great. I got lots of yarn and goodies including two japanese craft books I have been wanting for some time, which I will show in another post. I am so excited!
