I wish I had done better at taking photos of all the gifts I made this year. I just spoke with my brother who thanked me for the fingerless gloves I gave him, my great aunt loved the mittens, another aunt has surely now opened up the socks I made...etc.
I did take a few photos of my latest project though, completed just in the nick of time, Christmas eve...
It is a pot-holder made in Yoko Saito style, using the house book as my guide. I did a post about this wonderful book last year. I just signed up for a course with the very same author when she comes to Norway in 2010. I keep thinking about the upcoming course with great excitement and anticipation. I am still not even positive I have a spot but my fingers are crossed...
I found making the potholder for a dear friend to be so such pleasure. Doing it though made me realize I would like to have stacks and stacks of taupe fabrics and that I have so very much to learn when it comes to selecting colors.
I really would like to chat more but it is so late now that I should be asleep. One last thing. I am having a HUGE sale in my shop until January 1st. I realized today how much I love to shop at after Christmas sales and thought it would be great to treat everyone with a wonderful sale. I have also begun to list a few new dolls.
Nighty night!
that potholder is pretty incredible! what a treasure of a gift. no wonder you are so excited!

Gryteholderen er kjempefin! Skal sjekke ut boken...og blir grønn av misunnelse over at du skal på kurs. Hvor? Og fant du informasjon om kurset?...Jeg må holde meg bedre informert skjønner jeg :-)
Gledelig Jul til deg og familien!

I love the potholder!
& I also should have taken better pictures of the gifts this year. I think I get in such a hurry to get things done and given away that I don't take the time to document them. If I had maybe people would actually believe me when I say how busy I am! lol
