Christmas Craftiness

I thought I would do one more post about my little crafts that I did for Christmas. Nothing very special, but it is fun to share.

First I used fabric paint to put names of the animals on their stockings! We got navy blue velvet stockings from Target and I grabbed some silver glitter fabric paint from Michaels. Here is the finished product.

Yup. That is five kitties and one pup.

Later that day I finished the scarves that I made for my 2 nephews and niece so I decided that I needed some present tags to go with them! It was fun to make them and I even used my embossing tools- I haven't used them for a long time!! It reminded that I need to take time to be crafty, not just wait for the holidays.... Here they are.

I also taught myself a new crochet stitch with the aide of youtube and made my buddy Clayton a blanket. It took me a very long time to complete as I am not the worlds best crocheter but it looked great when it was done!

Up close. The stitch is called a slanted shell stitch. 

Here it is!!

Lastly- I made a blanket for my little niece Alyssa. It is just a simple double stitch. Nothing fancy, but it is cute none the less.

Folded in quarters.

I think that completes all my Christmas craftiness... Like I said- I am not a professional at this stuff at all, but I try and I have fun and I am very excited when they come together and look nice!!
