The Week Before Xmas

Well hi again all,

Its been just over a week since my last post and i was meant to write this out last night but i was a little tired from the week of work and i was just relaxing then i realised how late it had already gotten, So i thought since i have the morning off that i would get in and get this done otherwise i wouldnt till next week.

Well first off this week i finish off a xmas present for my unborn neice or nephew of a baby blanket. Took me a while as i had run out of thread and then i had to wait to buy more. Anyways below is the finished project, Its a little smaller then i had hoped but being 3days from xmas i figured it will be fine as is.

After i finished this i was thinking what could i make to help on xmas day with a little decoration and i did a little search and found these great xmas busts. I thought these would be great for the middle of the table so i decided to first make the snowman, Below is the process of the project then the final result.

The start of the project, turns out this would be his head.

Starting the body now.

Body complete and made the scarf. Now for the nose and hat. 

My completed snowman, Im going to add two buttons down his chest once the next bust is complete. 

I then decided that i would do a xmas tress bust from the same collection and so far ive made the scarf, the star and started the bust this is my progress picture of this moment.

In my next blog i will have the completed picture. 

But for now this is all i have managed to do this week with work aswell (ended up doing a 42hr week) and the busts are a pattern i found online at this website http://www.dendennis.nl/ and all greeted goes to them for the bust patterns, The blanket was just from a granny square and just kept going around and around till i ran out of yarn. 

Hope you enjoyed the projects this week and i will hopfully get some next week but unsure as it is xmas soon and i have a lot of travelling to do xD.

Jamie.
