Tis the season!

Yay! This is the final update for the Holiday Card Project. I delivered the cards to the Nationwide Children's Hospital on Thursday night.

There are a lot of children who utilize the HHC, with this in mind Mrs. Val spent the night before baking cookies. Sadly, it was all windy and rainy all day which was bad for the HHC party as it kept most of them away. I poked my head in a couple times and got some photos to add here as well as for our internal system and was there to see all that lovely effort go to waist. At least these four youngsters showed and were willing to pose for the 'paparazzi' (that's what the cute little one in the purple shirt called me. :3)

The only HHC children to show up to the party ... and Miss Val.

 We also had our own party (staff members). Everyone brought in something good to eat. For example a bacon pizza. Can you believe that! Yum! I couldn't post many photos of that as a few coworkers wouldn't like to be 'exploited' on my blog so I'll stick with the cream puff swans!

Swan on a cup! I couldn't resist.

Jen's mother made these ... how cute!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Holiday Card Update

With two days left to finish and gather holiday cards I don't see much accomplishment. There are a few cards in the basket and I've sadly only managed to make 3. I have heard people telling me that they just haven't brought them in and our Homework Help Center at work has managed over 50 cards. Their goal however is 300. I'm sure they'll get there. Their incentive is seeing Mrs. Val dressed as an elf!

Commissions Update:  I managed to complete most of my clients projects. I've still got 1 left to do however. I'm hoping to have it done my tomorrow so that she can give them away. She's kind of hoping this as well. It would have been much easier if I had gotten a deadline when she gave me the commission though. All well! That's just taught me to ask when they would like it by.

So First up is 'Hearts'. A lovely headband with a heart, lace pattern. It's knit in a wool/microfiber/cashmere fiber. The pattern was cutesy of Mel Clark though I did shorten it a bit.

 

A wee bit of self photography!

Hearts!

Then we have a forest green beanie. I lined it in fleece so it's uber warm!
