Socks? Slippers?

Just a short post for today, as I'm still working on the fringe on my very very large shawl. :-))
Oh, and of course, I couldn't just work on that, oh no, I needed to start the matching socks too. LOL
Trust me to start a new project before the other one is finished. They're not knitted socks though, I'm making crocheted socks. Or would they rather be called slippers? I always have cold feet, so these should keep me warm the coming winter. Imagine me, sitting cuddled up on the couch with my shawl and the matching socks. It may very well be a funny sight to see, but at least I'll be very very warm! Haha!! :-))
Here's a picture and the instructions on how to make them. The instructions are in dutch, but I'm sure that experienced crocheters might be able to make these just by seeing the picture. Okay, let's hope so. Tell me please if you start a set of your own! Would love to hear your crochet adventures! ;-))

I just found an article on our eSMarts Christmas Treasure Hunt. It's really well written, and all the participating members are mentioned with the links. You *need* the links to go find that Santa image. Just a little reminder, this is the image you need to track down... so you don't overlook him by accident... and spoil your chances! We don't want that, now do we???


Remember? You can win the big prize! But, ya gotta play first... heheh... But, participating is really not difficult at all, so go on and have fun! :-))

Take your pick

...and you decide whether this is a hint or a clue! But it's somewhere in my post... heheheh.... ;-))
Remember, you have to play to win the big jackpot! Make it a family game to go hunting for the Treasure and find the hidden Santa images. Santa needs to come out of hiding to bring gifts this year, won't he? Give him a hand!

I'm still working on my crochet shawl and I have to tell you, it's BIIIIG! I mean, way way big. LOL
I never anticipated it would end up this big, but I just liked the crocheting so much that I just kept going. And going... and going... And now it's really really big. But, I don't care, I actually like how it turned out and am sure I will enjoy cuddling up on the couch on cold winter evenings with this newest addition. :-))

I enjoy the bare works of knitting and crocheting, but the finishing touches... not so much. Anyone else have that problem? I mean, it really is a problem here. I wanted to crochet a bonnet and what do I find in the bag with the yarn? The bonnet I crocheted last winter! The crocheting part is finished, but I never bothered to actually work the end tails in. How stupid of me! I should have been wearing this!
Did you know there's a hidden Santa in my etsy store? Find him, copy the url, find 2 more of these Santas and there's your first chance of winning the big prize! How's that for a clue? ;-))
The newly discovered bonnet is duo toned, in purple, so it's completely in line with all the current fashions. But nooo, I'm the one that keeps things like this unfinished in her bag. Another one of my endless supply of UFOs. I really have to finish this one. And I'd prefer it done before winter starts. Ha!

But I'm working on that. I mean, I'm working on actually finishing what I started. The crochet part of the big shawl is done, I have worked in all the tail ends already (wow!) and now I'm in the process of adding the fringes. Tell me, how does it look so far??

Something I can do

Well with all my back problems I'm still on a recipe of rest, rest and more rest. I hate it. I can make a card now and then, a simple one, but it has to be done in stages. It's hilarious to see me do this.
Now don't get me wrong, I do not mind being on a rest schedule, but I really resent the fact that it takes more than let's say, 3 days or so. I love making things and being creative, but I can't stand not having much of a choice at the moment. Not that I'd wanna clean the house, but I would like to have that option. You know, just in case.... LOL
I have way too much time on my hands to think about other things I some day would like to make too. Like I don't have enough projects going already. I call them my UFOs. My UnFinished Objects. (grinning)
But if you think making some greeting cards now and then is all I do these days, I'm sooo not! Really. Here's the proof:


I'm in the process of making a large crochet shawl. Now, that should keep me warm this coming winter! :-))
