    Our friend's son and his wife are expecting their first baby(who will be another nearly-grandchild for us) in December so I've been doing a few things for them.Then we found out that our hairdresser is also expecting her first baby in -you guessed it- December! Oh and then there are birthdays and Christenings and Christmas to think about as well so I'm glad to have started early!!

    Now that the gardening is winding down I can concentrate on getting all the other things on my list started and hopefully finished.

    I really love everything that you've made but those little shoes have got to be my favourite. :D I'm sure each and every one of your handcrafted gifts will go down a treat.

    Oh, another one I missed! My Summer wasn't spent inside, that's for sure. I seem to have missed a lot of new topics this year. These are just fabulous, Karen.. Well done.

    Wow you have been a busy girl. I like all of the things you have been making. I bet that when they all get their special handmade gifts they to will love them. Makes me think I need to get at some of those put aside crafts and let the fur fly so to speak. But first I need to go and take a nap. :stew1:
