Here's my progress on the Lalaloopsy doll for Mo for Christmas! I'm so excited! I hope I can get it done in time. I had a custom order for my Etsy shop to get done so my customer could have it before Christmas.


Our Friday craft was a paper chain in white and red to resemble a popcorn and cranberry garland. Thanks to GGma (my grandma) for the idea!


Our paper chain in the front window. Which inspired me to do this...


Crochet popcorn and cranberry garland!!! You can buy the pattern here or on Ravelry! Sorry for the crappy pictures!






I made sweet potatoe fries to go with our sloppy joe dinner Friday night. They were mushier than I expected, but really good!


Morgana likes to make the Lalaloopsy doll legs walk.


We put up the Christmas tree yesterday. Christmas is going to be so fun with Morgana at this age!








And here's the custom order from someone in my Etsy shop. They saw my Baby Love Mitts pattern and asked if I sell the finished mitts. I said I didn't, but would be glad to do a custom order. Here is a shot of the first one done. This size is 10 months old! So tiny!



We also have got all our Christmas shopping done in 24 hours... online, baby. Plus, we only got gifts for us and the kids.

If I don't post again until after Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone!

Worsted weight yarn in green, brown, yellow and whatever color(s) you would like for garland, bows or lights.

Yarn needle to weave in ends and to sew



Tree Body:

Holding the tree body upside down, find the middle 12 stitches of the bottom and mark each side of them.

Row 1 - (still holding tree body upside down) w/ brown, attach to the first of the 12 center stitches w/ sc, sc to end of center stitches where end marker is, ch 1, turn.

Round 2 - (ss, sc, ss) in the first sc, repeat for the remaining 4 scs, finish off.

Sew star to top of tree.


Garland, bows, lights:

For the garland, I just top stitched however I thought looked right, back and forth across the tree. It took me a couple tries. Do what looks good to you. (I chose to do garland because it seemed the safest for my baby niece, which is who I design my coasters for. She loves to play with them.)

For bows, I suggest hooking a short piece of yarn through the tree body so that the two ends are in front, then tying them in a knot and trimming it up. You could even unravel the yarn ends to give them a fuller look.

For lights, I suggest hooking a short piece of yarn through the tree body so that one end is in the front and one in the back, then tie a tight knot (or knot the same piece several times) on either side and trim up the ends.

Gobble Coaster - Free Crochet Pattern
