presents!!!

it's that time of the year, trying to get all the holiday presents i've planned completed.  i actually have high hopes that i can get everything done but it leave me very little time to get any sewing done and i really wanted to make a new dress for e to wear on thanksgiving...

but anyway, here is what i've been working on and actually finishing on time.

the hemlock ring blanket for my grandma.  all the details are here on ravelry.   i really love the way it came out!  thanks for the great pattern brooklyntweed.

a seed stitch coat for my niece's birthday (e has a matching one).  this one killed me - i may be done with debbie bliss forever!

i'm planning on making project bags for all of h's teachers.  one down, ten to go.  it is basically a pillow case with a ribbon on top to use as a drawstring.

and finally, some mittens for h.  it should be getting cold out soon and this is the yarn he picked from my stash.  not bad for under two hours of work.

now all i have left is something for the greatest babysitter, my brother, brother-in-law, mother-in-law and mother - totally doable, right?
