If you know me, or have been following my blog for very long, then you probably know that much of the month of December I spent making Christmas gifts.
In early December, with a plan in mind, I ventured to Joann Fabrics to get the supplies that I would need. It was a fun outing because I met my youngest daughter there. She wanted to pick out some fabric for a project that I am now making for her. She also helped me select fabric for the gifts I would make for Jackson and Addy.
For Jackson and Addy I decided to make fleece bathrobes.
I also made them each a pair of flannel pajama pants and a stuffed puppy to match.
I was quite pleased with the way everything turned out.
The puppies were a little more challenging that I expected.
For my daughters, who are all dog lovers and puppy parents, I decided to make paw print scarves. I also crocheted them each a pair of slippers since it had been several years since I had made them any.
Somehow I neglected to take a picture of the four scarves all of which were the same pattern as the one above but in different colors. At least when I realized this I still had one scarf and pair of slippers that had not been delivered yet.
It wasn’t until I saw Addy putting on the slippers that I made for her mother that I realized that I wasn’t quite finished with the outfits I made for the grandkids. Can you guess what I’m crocheting now?😉

All these gifts are so nice Ruth – the puppies and pawprints are so cute. My mom knit for years and loved creating knitted gifts. I still have some knitted items she made and treasure them.

Thanks Linda. I still have items that both my mom and grandma made that will likely be passed down to my kids/grandkids.

Oh, those are all so beautiful! When I was little, my grandmother used to knit me sweaters, mittens, you name it, and I always loved getting them:-)

These pictures made me so very happy. Everything turned out so well. The love you put into the gifts are a gift in its self. Handmade gifts create the best memories . And what could possibly be a better choice than a cozy robe, soft sleep pants and a cuddly puppy. So perfect to wrap those babies in in their grandmas love every day .

Thanks Anne. To me that’s what Christmas is. Funny story: I noticed Kara wearing leg warmers that looked like they were crocheted. When I asked her if someone made them for her she said “you did”. It was probably about 12 years ago. I didn’t remember making them until she reminded me. She didn’t really wear them at that time but she now likes the style. That made my day.
