Christmas Round Up

I can hardly believe another year is almost over and Christmas is done & dusted!
This year we spent Christmas at Broom's Head with Nan & Pa, Aunty Yvette, Uncle Damien, Chloe & Jack. We had lots of yummy food & spent a lot of time digging in the sand and swimming in the ocean - bliss!
We arrived on Christmas Eve and it didn't take Harper long to find the beach!

     


He had a great time riding his bike and playing with his older cousins while we all watched for cars.
     

For me the end of Christmas means then end of Christmas crafting. This year I participated in Jellywares Xmas washer swap (see button on side bar for more details) Here are the washer and Christmas decoration I sent to Susan.

     


     

I received this lovely washer & snowflake from Vanessa.

     

I also made lots of bunting and towel hangers (pattern here) this year as well as these stars and Christmas trees. Some were even made on the way to the beach on Christmas Eve. While I didn't end up hanging them around our tents (it was too windy) they are all ready to be made into garlands or presents next Christmas.

As we get ready for another trip to the beach I'm busy preparing yarn and finding patterns to start my next project. I really want to finish a blanket I started this spring but with temperatures expected to be in the high 30's for the next few days I think smaller lighter projects will be easier. I love using the time in the car to crochet & knit. What do you do to pass time in the car?
