Holiday Crazies

I am having a really hard time accepting the fact that it's almost the middle of December. Where is the month going??

With such a short amount of time left before Christmas, my little fingers are busy, knitting away.  Unfortunately, I'm not making anything for myself or for anyone in my family, but for custom orders.  Right now, I'm working on some local orders, and the last day I'm accepting orders on etsy is the 19th.  We're heading out of town on the 20th for our Christmas break! We're going to spend at least a week up in Charlottesville with Jake's parents, which is always a wonderful time. In the next 10 days, I have to finish:
*one hat & scarf set (scarf is blocking now)
*two custom order hats
*two childrens hats
*one clutch
On paper, it doesn't look like too much, and it probably won't be that bad, but it doesn't leave me much down time - which I need to finish my Christmas shopping. Let's hope it all gets done on time!!

The most recent happenings in my life are the craft fair I participated in this past weekend. As a first time craft fair vendor, I had no idea what to expect. I was so nervous - and really just wanted to make my money back. The result??
Amazing.
I literally almost sold out of everything I had over the two day fair. I am so happy with the way it went! I would like to thank EVERYONE that came out this past weekend to make the entire fair a success. There were over 50 vendors, all who had wonderfully fresh and creative booths. Can't wait until next year!

knitting away!
I hope everyone's having a wonderful Holiday Season!!

handmade holiday ornaments

yes, it's almost that time. time to break out the dusty box full of ornaments and start decorating away! if you're like us, both my husband and I have a box full of our ornaments from growing up.  Each year my mom would take us out shopping to get "our" ornament for the year - and it's so fun to look back and see what I picked out. This year, I would love to try and make ornaments for our tree - it will definitely be something to help us remember our first Christmas as a married couple! Growing up, we had our family Christmas traditions, that I know I'll never forget as we start our own traditions as a new family. Do you have a favorite Christmas tradition?
