Mandatory Xmas Post

Merry Belated Christmas Everyone!!!

I had a great holiday, I was off work for 5 days, which was lovely, I spent most of it just relaxing and  hanging out with family. My little sisters were both back in town, we had a family reunion with my mother's brothers and their families on Friday night, and Sunday night we had taco night with 4 of my siblings, then from like 2pm Monday until 8pm Tuesday, I literally just hung out at my mom's place.

I made a small present for my parents and sisters this year, my sister's both received crochet bikinis (I do unfortunately need to remake the bottom on one of them though, WAY too small), my mom got some slippers and some socks for my step-dad. And I totally forgot to take any photos of these items... GO ME!

But here's some other random pictures! (some of which I've been wanting to post for over a month!)

Here's my awesome new bike seat and grips my parents bought me!
EE! leopard print!!! all it needs now is a pink chain and basket liner!
 
Here are the chucks I was commissioned to make!
They are a size 11.5 mens and totally awesome!
The guy they were made for was very pumped when he opened the present!

Here's a nail polish stand J bought me! It sadly doesn't fit all of
my nail polish, but it's definitely a better way to display them!

Rainbow of owls! (I may have already posted this one)

Here is a photo of our Xmas Eve treats! We had WAY too many
sweets, like always, but everything was super good!
 
And finally sad reindeer puppy... though after 24 hours of trying
to force him to wear the antlers, he finally just gave up and let us
make him look like an idiot... I love my mom's dog!
I also went shopping this morning for Boxing Day yarn sales!!! Michael's had Vanna's on for $2.49 (50% off) and Vanna's Glamour for $5.99 (15% off ) and THEN I had a coupon for 25% off! so I managed to score 17 balls of yarn for like $40! And saved $50! woot!

Well that's all for now! I have a mohawk hat that I need to get finished up over the next few days, and then I think 3 other hat commissions, and then I need to sit down and try to decide where I want to go with YarrHooked! ... I think maybe a break from commissions will be in the plans and focusing on getting some stock together for a few months... maybe?

OMG! SO...

Excuse me while I go cry and freakout... SO MUCH TO CROCHET, SO LITTLE TIME...

I finished up a three hat commission over the weekend... I have seven other items to make by Christmas! and four other post-Christmas commission to do... *sigh*

And I don't even have photos of the hats I made because it was too dark in my apartment this morning and they look atrocious! It was a football hat, another mohawk hat and a sock monkey hat...

BUT here's some ornaments I made for my mom's ornament swap party! LOVE the idea!

Really need to figure out how to take photos in the winter... it's just too dark!
