Christmas Orders all done..SANTA'S WORKSHOP IS CLOSED!!

I'm sure you hear a big sigh of relief as I completed all my Christmas orders....
I love what I do but Christmas can be overwhelming trying to satisfy all my customers... I haven't learned the word "NO" yet!! VBG
Anyway I am done and now I can get at some house keeping and preparation for Xmas gifts and the dinner..
Here are some pictures of what I was working on.. Hope you enjoy seeing them..


This dolls title is "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover" She hasn't told me her name yet!!
It is for a lady that has received one of my dolls every year for the last 8 years . This one is a bag lady out in the cold who has lost everything and relies on charity to keep going. I always write a story to go with each doll. (too long for here) but she got a chicken or at least so she thought.... Perhaps an egg or two would be a bonus,, however the chicken turned out to be a rooster.. hence no eggs!!! etc... She is obviously happy as she has a smile to share with those she meets..
I hope Karen likes her...













The sock monkey will be going to a wee boy. I knit the sweater and touque so he would be warm on a cold winter day!!!



The bag is quite large and ready to carry just about anything. I did the 6" log cabin blocks and used denim as a contrast. I had a couople of left over blocks so I used them inside for pockets. Also another large pocket to put things.




























The pink ones are for cancer patients and represents love and hope.










MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY BLOGGING FRIENDS. I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU AND ALWAYS FEEL SO HAPPY WHEN YOU STOP BY FOR A VISIT..
XOXOXOOXOXO

Hi Maggie, You have certainly been busy and creating the most beautiful things. You've been good so I'll tell Santa! Thanks for the visit and yes I am slowly getting better. I couldn't get flu shots as they ran out. Now they have them but Dr. says no because I'm sick. Go figure. Sure put a damper on the holidays for me. But I needed the rest.
May you have a joyous and wonderful holiday. Leave it to you to have heart snowflakes.Merry Christmas sequin lady!!! Sharon
PS Thinking of sewing sequins on my pajamas! LOL
