A very happy dance and lots of finishes!

 My Golden Gate Houses finished!

I have loved stitching this and now it is finished I think I am going to get it professionally framed.

I love the design and the rich colours and am very pleased as to how it has turned out.

We actually saw houses like these in Sans Francisco on our honeymoon!

And all my crocheting and knitting for christmas are finished too. This scarf and hat was for my friend's birthday and in spite of the snow, she received them only a day or two after the date. And they have been worn already!

And how could  I let Christmas pass with our knitting some socks.

Two pairs, one for each of my grand sons.

I added another colour for the welt, heel and toe to make the yarn do two pairs!

And some chocs for my daughter in a decorated jar! I used glass paints for the lid and then stuck on some pretty blue buttons.

And that I think is all my making done, although I quite fancy a little crochet hat for my grand daughter; black of course with sequins and beads.
And I have  a new ball of self patterning yarn so I think a restful time over Christmas knitting socks!
Happy stitching n' knitting to you all.

I am now stitching my Celtic Lady and will post pics of my progress next time.
