Eek!!

Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas? Is it really? Not in terms of my getting on with Christmas presents.

Last night, I finished my 4th bunny with a skirt:



She is wearing stripy tights in hot pink and baby pink:


(This camera angle makes her look out of proportion, though she isn't). Like the other bunnies, she has velvet ribbon threaded through her skirt and tied with a bow:


So far, so good. But what about Christmas? Well, we have some little nick-backs dotted around. They are all of the rather chubby variety, as I myself am:





WOW... My utterly brilliant iPad has added falling snow to my snowman, with me having nothing to do with it. How cool is that?!

There are decorations ON the tree:




(Look...the lights are twinkling. I love you iPad)

And a particularly lovely decoration UNDER The tree:



Now on to the cause of my Eek!!

Ma's blanket. She is staying with us for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year, so I know I can continue working on it then if necessary, but I would like to have more done.  Here are the joined pieces so far:


Though it is not particularly clear, the bottom two rows have pale blue as their extension colour, and the top row has a mid blue. I have almost finished another row of mid blue, which will go BELOW 
the pale blue:


Then, on either side of the mid blue rows, there will be ones with the turquoise from the central motif used as the extension colour. When it gets to that stage, I will try it on the bed and either make more squares, or edge it.


I have various squares ready to be worked up:



So today, some happy hooking, probably watching all the quite addictive podcasts on You Tube where people give tours of their craft rooms!  Wish me good luck...
