Well, I’ve finally managed to get most holiday stuff out of the way. ^_^ Cards went out last Friday and last weekend was spent holiday shopping and working on gifts.

I made three of one item using a technique I don’t do often and I think they came out pretty well. Won’t say exactly what it is yet since someone on the friends list is receiving one and I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Keeping one for myself and giving another to an old friend that I’m hoping to see next week.

Then, I made a pair of fringed cushions for my parents, using some of the red upholstery brocade I had left from my Ayame. Kind of random but they’re impossible to shop for and they got a new sofa earlier in the year that didn’t come with any cushions. Also made a tree skirt with the same fabric several days before that so I finally used all the leftovers. Now my costume can match the tree and sofa! XD;

Next, I crocheted a scarf for my grandmother with some fuzzy yarn. It was just rows of double crochet, nothing fancy. But it went more slowly than I was hoping because I’d forgotten fuzzy yarn is a nuisance to work with; you can’t see the stitches that well due to the fuzz so it’s hard to see what you’re doing. ^_^;

And now I’m off to make tangyuan which is traditional for Chinese celebrations of the Winter Solstice tomorrow.
