The joy of Christmas. Peace to you and yours!

A custom order for one of DH's friends.  Her little girl has a pink blanket with white spots so ted has a matching one. Download the pattern via Ravelry for $4

Its been a tough week and a half in our house.  The kidlets have not being sleeping well at night.  One or two nights of that is okay, but its starting to get to me now.  Plus my knitting time and energy has been cut big time so I think there will be some emergency Christmas shopping at the end of this week to cover the stuff I just can't get done. When did Christmas suddenly become so stressful? To lighten the mood, here's a few pics of what we've been up to. Oliver learned how to use his bouncer - he absolutely loves it!! Emily made a few little angels for our Christmas tree.  We got the template of the cBeebies website (love it!) And Emily was a bit under the weather last week with an earache, so we had a princess party (i.e. a picnic in front of the telly) while watching the cBeebies panto. We made pink princess buns and cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and there was a bit of fruit as well. Yum, yum!

Have to take a break from knitting a custom white teddy bear as I stuck my darning needle into my finger and am bleeding - not good when knitting with white!! So on to the winner of the SewMamaSew Giveaway. I consulted the random number generator, and the winner is - Jennie.   She said 'How cute. Looks like something my Nanna would make - she's good at knitting too. Thanks for the giveaway!'  An email will be on the way to you tonight Jennie to get your address. Thank you so very much to everyone who entered my little giveaway.  Its always nice to get such lovely feedback - I really appreciate it. And for those of you who have just discovered my blog, check out the free patterns to the right.  Any questions just pop me an email.

Just in time for Christmas - the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. Up for grabs is the beautiful Aliona, a vision in pink. This little gal is handknit by me, in acrylic yarn so she's easily washed.  Her hair is sewn on rather than knitted so she would not be suitable for kids under 3 years of age.  Her clothes cannot be removed. To win this lovely dolly just leave a comment with some form of contact detail.  A winner will be chosen at random on Dec 16th and I'll pop her in the post as soon as I can so you hopefully have her for Christmas (international entries are welcome).
