Mittens!

Trena's Mittens

Created from a wool sweater from the Goodwill and felted right here at the farmette.

The likelihood of these cutie patooties even fitting her are pretty slim, as all we could go by was a tape measure and a wiggly toddler!
But if not this year, then surely next.
Regardless...it was a fun project.
Instead of sewing them right sides together, I chose to do a blanket stitch all around
That way there is no bulky seam on the inside....which may or may not bother a 2 year old, but I know it would bother me!

A sweet snowman star....

Once again this year I have kept decorations to a minimum, with the mantle, the tree, and the nativity taking center stage. A very few other little bits and bobs are lying about, but nothing overwhelming. The left knee has really been acting up and with no more insurance, this is one I will have to just live with. So I chose, once again, to keep things simple.
I will be ever so grateful when it comes time to put everything away!

This will likely be it for blogging for at least a few days.
Our daughter and her family fly in this Monday and will be staying here with us till Sunday.
There will be lots of photos taken, but more importantly, lots of precious memories being made.
We are counting the days....
