Every year I try and make most of my gifts for Christmas giving. Sometimes I even succeed, sometimes I don't.
My first set of gifts are completed. Each of my brother's daughters will be getting 3 pairs of mittens. If I have time after my other sewing projects I found a lovely hat project that I may make an ear flap hat for each of them as well.
Tonight I will cast on the stitches for the first of two rugs that I am making for Kurt and Kris.
Here are some pictures of the eclipse last night. They did not turn out very well, but I will share them with all of you anyways.
The beginning of the eclipse. Notice how the clouds are moving in.
That tiny little dot above the eaves is all I could see of the eclipse. You can see however that the moon is now no longer silver but reddish.
A friend of my cousin took this one. Sure wish we could have seen it this clearly.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Your photos of the eclipse are very good. Far better than I could muster. I love the mittens. You do well to make so many gifts.
ReplyDeleteThese are cute mittens...my mom used to make nearly all her gifts but I am not talented in crafts of any kind...so I have to buy them....bummer.
ReplyDeleteI do, however, shop all year long for gifts for our 10 plus grands...gotta hit the sales when you have so many to buy for. :)
and....I am almost finished shopping. YAY
