Journal Your Christmas day 28 - the wooly hats!

Today is my Dad's birthday and today I should be showing you a picture of his socks (and Spouse's who had to have a pair after trying Dad's on for size to help me out.) Of course, I forgot to take photos before gifting them earlier today. Whoops! So here's the rest of my Christmas makes.

Wooly hat number 1 - the bunny for my brother. The scarf buttons up neatly like a neck warmer, I found the pattern on Ravelry. 

Wooly hat number 2 - the fox for my sister-in-law. Her nickname is Vixen so what else could she have?! *g* The infinity scarf is fleece backed foxy double gauze, soft and cosy! 

Wooly hat number 3 - the panda for my mum. When I saw this panda snowmen fabric I knew Mum's dog walking hat was going to be this guy. Isn't he cute?

My aunt and uncle's bauble table square. I love that fabric with the cars!!

And six cake-in-a-mug sets for my girlfriends.

Two each of these mugrugs made with raw edge applique.  I giggled all the while making the moustache trees!

Now if you'll excuse me I have a sewing room to put back in order, it becomes the Chrimbo staging area and is upside down!

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
