How I spent my November and December!!!!

So I was finally able to get motivated and got almost all of my projects done. I still have to finish 3 blankets: my mom's, my brother's girlfriends and my brother and sister in laws! Anyways it took awhile but yeah I have posted the pictures below! Enjoy!

The knitting needle case for my sister-in-law Genny!

The Chocolate Covered Brazil Nuts I made for my dad and the paint can I made for him.

The marble magnets I made for my cousin. I also made a set for my Aunt and Uncle. I made a different set for my brother's girlfriend to open since I didn't finish her blanket... it had pictures of my nephew.

The baby blocks I made for my newest cousin Carson... I put bells in them so they jingled. I actually have someone requesting I make some for a friend of theirs for a baby shower gift.

My mom and I made a bunch of Christmas mice for our co-workers... they were a big hit and no one wanted to eat theirs. Ben said they were delicious... he ate all the rejects.

I hand sewed this babydoll for a little girl whos name I drew off the hope tree at work... I hope she liked it.

The invitations I made for my parent's Christmas party.



Kneeling Pad for my soon to be sister-in-law Kristine for when she is working in her garden!

This is the blanket I made for my nephew Daryk... it is San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.
This is the blanket I made for my brother Brian... it is just Kansas City Chiefs.

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT BRIDGET'S BLANKET WILL BE????

The dog treat bag I made for my sister-in-law Helene! She was really thrilled with it and was excited about all of the stuff that she could put in it.

I also made on for my Uncle.

My cousins Allison and Tyler got a coloring wallet. They were big hits I knew that Allison would like hers I didn't expect Tyler to like his as much as he did however!!! Once again I was told by his mom and grandma that I need to start selling my creations!!!

I made this neck pillow for my grandma because I she loves hummingbirds and is always using her neck pillow. Let me just tell you filling up one of these with the little foam beads is not a fun experience!!! It is quite interesting if you have a TV that is on nearby... I'm pretty sure mine is still covered in tiny white dots :)
So yeah that is all of it... I'm taking a week off of sewing... it has been hard too since my mother-in-law bought me a new sewing machine for Christmas but I think I would have gone insane if I hadn't!!!
