Winter Crafts

Today it was sunny and Hot out! What a Dec. 1st!! Perhaps it'll be a warm winter, what with global warming and all....But tonight it rained a cold hard rain that snapped me back into reality - it'll be snow on the ranch for certain again this year. 

This week we will be knitting legwarmers- in the round with variegated yarn...pictures to follow...Should be interesting with a toddler - let's call him King Distructo, and our beautiful new blue pit puppy, aptly named Spot because of the diamond shape on his head. 

Also Grandma left her clay, so we will have to do something with that. 

December always seems like a good time to make candles, and tinctures. I want to try to make herbal throat lozenges this year. Solstice will be here soon enough, and I am trying to think of a really nice handmade present for each one of my bundles...aprons maybe, since they have ben big helps in the kitchen lately.
