De-clutter

I chose to spend time de-cluttering today, and it felt so good! I didn't go all out, but I did go through my Christmas tops, some Christmas decorations, and my kitchen counters. If I keep going through a little bit each day, I'll soon have my house back to normal, or even better than it was! 

I managed to make two more fidget hedgehogs today, and I finished a cowl that I started about a month ago. 

My stash of gnomes has grown by three. I wonder if I'll ever get tired of making them?

No tatting today

I really meant to do some tatting. I have a bookmark that is almost finished, but I have a ring to un-tat, and I just wasn't in the mood to do that today.

I did, however, manage to finish three gnomes and two hedgehogs. I also baked a loaf of bread, made a pot of butternut squash soup, and did some cleaning. Wow! I'm impressed with what I did accomplish!

Happy New Year!

I have plans for the new year, plans to use up as much of my yarn stash as possible!

I purchased shatterproof ornaments from Hobby Lobby after Christmas. I love clearance prices! It doesn't take long to crank out a cover on my Addi 22 pin circular knitting machine. 

There is still a demand for fidget hedgehogs. There are yarns that won't got through my machine, and I have quite a few odds and ends that will only work with small projects. These little cuties fit the bill!

I'm still enjoying making gnomes. These will be set aside for next year. I think I might use them for a fund raiser for the school drama club next year.

Now that Christmas gift giving is over, it's time to get back to tatting. There's so much I want to do!
