I got lots more stars made, which are now starched and ready for stringing on the divine twine.
Believe it or not, every last snowflake and star I have crocheted last year and this year came from the same ball of yarn. Last night I finished it. I almost felt sad.
I also got three felt ornaments made in the peace of someone else's house.
I am most definitely in full on Christmas present making mode now. But there is a back log of bee blocks that I need to focus on before I get buried under the growing pile, and the guilt.

Those are lovely, maybe you should babysit more often. I too have to finish my bee blocks, the guilt is getting to me already.
ReplyDeleteSusan can i get your pattern for your cute stars !!
ReplyDeletei guess i could work it out from looking at yours ,all your makes are soo cute loved the hearts last year too !!
I love all your ornaments! Makes me think I need to make something for my own tree... :)
ReplyDeleteLove these stars more each time I see them and it was inspired to use the twine for the garland. Your pretty stars and packages yesterday were the talk of J's class last night (and not brought up by either J or me)!
ReplyDeleteWow these are superb I wish I could crochet.
ReplyDeleteIf I were nearer you could babysit for us, 2 asleep by 6.30, the other 7.30, think of all you could get done!
So are you babysitting some more just for the peace and quiet!?
ReplyDeleteGreat makes Susan! I am just about up to date with my bees! But so behind on Christmas....
Gorgeous! I am so horrible in crochet but it looks great. The ornaments are so cute. Now I know how to make a snowflake. Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteGreat job again! Did they have to remind you to go home?! ;-)))
ReplyDeleteWhat an industrious evening you had! Why are our kids always better behaved for other people? Love the snowflakes and hearts! So pretty! Jxo
ReplyDeleteGreat makes Susan!
ReplyDeleteThe star tute is on my blog to any one eager to have a go!
Have a starry weekend x
Love those hearts - I've already admired your stars, lol.
ReplyDeleteStars are brilliant, but your babysitting to get some peace is genius.... I'm surprised you and said friend dont do it regularly - not to get out, just to get some peace to do something!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got the going baby-sitter rate!
ReplyDeleteYou such a great hooker! And I hope the friend you babysat for will return the favour with your girls when you want a night out ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh I so want to make some of those stars - where did you get the pattern? Can't believe you mentioned that 5 letter dirty word on your blog! Seems a lot of it going around - wonder if there is a medicine for it...
ReplyDeletePretty pretty ornaments! I love babysitting! It's so nice to just sit around and know that there are no chores to be done, or if there is, you don't have to do them!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe when you and your friend both need a break for an evening you should just swap houses, get an easier evening with each other's children!
ReplyDeleteI love the stars, I'm going to have to do some like that for next year! I have, for some reason, decided this is the perfect time of year to start making my first quilt, so I'm not getting any of the Christmas decorations done that I was intending!
Those hearts are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful stars and the felt ornaments are sweet. Isn't it nice that other peoples children let you sew! Di x
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted stars will look beautiful on the twine, and I love your felt hearts too!
ReplyDeleteJust remember , guilt is overrated...your stars and ornaments are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteAww, the end of the ball :'( Still, they let you get on with loads of fun things so now you can do the pressie thing...
