Jillian’s turn for a Nativity set.
It’s so funny to me how they are all from the same pattern…
they take on their own personality.
Happy Birthday Jillian…or Merry Christmas to come.
Love you honey.

Jolly Little Snowman
Snowmen seem to be all the thing these days, so when I saw this pattern, I desperately wanted to make it for my sweet Jillian–who loves snowmen! It took a bit of tweaking to get everything they way I wanted it–but in the end he’s just what we wanted. Check out his cute little stick arms and mittens! And what can we say about that carrot nose?
Ohhhh, my, but he turned out cute!
Snowman Army
I found this sweet little snowman pattern just a few days before our family Christmas party.
It whipped up so quickly that I made another one.
And then…and then…and then and then and then… AHHHH!!
They were just so dang cute that I couldn’t stop!!
Before I knew which way was up–I had a pile of sweet, sturdy little snowmen! Turns out I had one for each of my kids and my sister and my sweet friend.
In the words of our favorite boy wizard, “It was like MAGIC!!”
If you’re feeling the crochet snowman bug too–you’ll find the pattern here at:
You’re very welcome.
Gingerbread Houses 2022
Ohhhh my goodness! How many times have we made these crazy little houses?!
However, we haven’t actually done one quite like this. Notice the double chimneys. There’s your first hint.
See if you can figure it out.
I worked on this side of the house with my little brick planter and flowers and sweet rock pathway…
and only the stuff I particularly love– on the roof.
Ok, on half the roof.
There was someone else making a whole different building, with a totally different vibe, on the other side of this house.
Think of it like the ultimate Christmas duplex–if you will.
Mrs. Claus on one side and Mr. Grinch on the other. Haha.
It was very him–if you get my drift.
Hazel said that her house looked so good that she wanted to eat it. No one could think of a reason for her not to do it…
…so she did.
I hope we do this every year…
forever.
Crocheted Nativity 2.0
No, noooo. I’m not reposting my sweet little crocheted Nativity set. And noooo you aren’t seeing double. My daughter Lyndi wanted her very own version so naturally, I made another set!!
This time, Mary’s hair is more blonde and Joseph has a goatee and no mustache. He’s a more modern fellow. Haha.
But since Mary and Joseph’s wardrobe that night is a history mystery–I have complete freedom to use my artistic license. Last time it was pink and brown but THIS time, since Lyndi realllllly loves blue, then blue it is.
So there.
Of course, baby Jesus is the same…because, you know– some things should probably stay the same, “yesterday, today and forever,” if you get my meaning. Not tempting fate here.
And so it is.
