Here I go...  the day before Christmas Eve, the day before we exchange presents with my family, and I have just started a present involving squares.  24 squares.  I have four down.  20 to go.  And about 24 hours.

In those 24 hours I also have to do laundry, play with the kidlets, and clean the house.

Thank goodness Ja brought home our yearly bottle of Amarula last night!

Doable?  Only time will tell.

Update - 10:20 pm 9 squares and the edging to go.  The finished squares are already sewn togther, and the ends woven in! 

Unfortunately, the glass of Amarula I had tonight is not helping it go any faster....

The long list of Christmas craftiness is almost over!  And, because the recipients of these aren't really able to access the blog on their own... here are the prizes...

These are Sprites. 


One for my niece Sierra, and one for each of my kidlets.  My kidlets were so enamoured with the one that I made Sierra that I decided to make them each one... to the detriment of my poor little fingers.

The one I made for Sierra is just plain legs, with a shell stitch skirt.



The eyes are a bit lopsided, but...  meh.



Keyz's favourite colour is blue, hence the blue striping on the tights.  Which, by the way, was much easier to do than I originally thought.  I did a bit of a picot on the edge of this one's hat and skirt... just to make it different.

Then....  the need to come up with a "manly" sprite. 



A belt!  Ja thinks that this guy needs a big gold chain...  sigh.  I think he looks a bit like a leprachaun.

I'm quite pleased with them tho, and I think they will make excellent additions to the stockings!

And now, me and my sore fingers must get ready for the new addition to our family....
