We just got our tree today, now it’s all trimmed and pretty.

Felted Slippers
I made two more pairs of felted slippers for a Christmas order. These turned out much better than the last set!
Prior to felting:
Don’t these look ridiculous? I didn’t think they would work out… but surprisingly enough they are so comfy!
After felting:
Eh. Sorry for the crappy pictures. Do you know how hard it is to take pictures of your own feet? Really hard!
The trick is, right after felting you have to put them on your feet before they are completely dried to make them more foot-shaped. It worked really well this time.
If you’re interested in a pair to keep your feet warm this winter, just drop me a line and we can discuss prices and colors.
December Photo Project
I’m going to try to do my best to do the December Photo Project.
So here is Day 1:
I realize that my photo looks a whole lot like Erika’s! It was just about the only Christmasy thing around, except for the stockings which are hung from the staircase (which I wrapped with tinsel) which you can see in the reflection of the glass.
Angel Fish
I made this angel fish a while back, but forgot to take pictures of her! It’s another Christmas order.
So, here is a picture of all of the little animals that are still in residence in my crafting room. I’ve already mailed out quite a few of them, so this isn’t all of the ones I’ve made, but it’s a good portion of it.
I also wanted to start on the December Photo project today, so we’ll see if I can get that up today before midnight!
More Ice?
We got back to Moscow and the ice and snow had only gotten worse while we were gone. I’m pretty much homebound since my car isn’t exactly snow-worthy.
Today I walked downtown to go to run a few errands, ended up slipping and falling flat on my back, spilling my coffee as I did so. Lovely, really. To my amazement no one even saw me fall, so at least it wasn’t horribly embarrassing.
So that icicle above is about 14 feet long. It’s a really, really long icicle. I am sort of afraid it’s going to fall and kill someone. (I am staying far away from that one)
And the forecast is predicting snow all week. (Do you like my awesome hat? I stole it from my husband!)
Tonight (after unpacking… maybe) I will begin the Christmas decorations! I am so excited about Christmas decorations… I wanted to put them up before we left for Texas, but that was vetoed.
So, cheers to being homebound. I’ve got some more knitting to do anyway…..
Ice!
So while we were in Texas (we just got home this evening, hooray!) Paul’s dad took us to see the Ice! Exhibit at the Gaylord Texan (A huge resort near Dallas). Guys, let me just say, this was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen!
The theme was “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and these were all made out of blocks of colored ice.
And they are really, really big. Also, you get to wear these big, blue, extremely warm parkas!

Oh, and did I mention that it was only 9 degrees in there? Brr!

But wait, next was my very, very, very favorite part.
A way-bigger-than-lifesize nativity scene. It was so beautiful!
My Sister-In-Law is crafty too!
So, on Saturday my beautiful sister in law, Rennie, got married. She’s so crafty she made her own wedding dress! Seriously, look how beautiful it is!
She did such an amazing job, and it was such a beautiful wedding!
We fly home tomorrow, so more regular posting will resume then.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Wedding!
I will be back later with pictures, but we just got back from Rennie’s wedding. It was lovely! We had such a good time, but we are exhausted! So we are off to veg-out for a bit!
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving from Knittybutton!
I’ll definitely be working on some more Christmas knitting, and hopefully eating lots of stuffing.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and those of you in Washington and Idaho please stay warm!!
Starfish
Once again, my husband steals the show with his awesome photography skills.
I think I’ll have to take a picture of all of the animals I’ve made so far all together in one big underwater zoo. The list of little animals is just growing and growing!
