Yes, I know February is almost over and it is therefore not time to talk about Christmas, but I never
really did a post on the finished objects (and the unfinished ones), so here we
go anyway!
My favorite first… the doll bed! I ordered the Jenny Lind
doll bed in the Land of Nod black Friday sale, and it was a great deal but yes
it was a special treat item and I could have gotten a perfectly nice doll bed
from Ikea for $19. But, I fell in love. I had to buy it, and make tiny sheets
for it, and tiny pillow cases, and duvets and best of all tiny quilts – and I plan
to make some tiny knitted throw blankets for it too. I love miniatures, and
making accessories for this little thing has been so much fun. Best of all
though, K loves it! She ran right for it on Christmas morning and loves to tuck
her little monkeys into bed and read them bedtime stories and whispers “go to
sleep now monkey, mommy said it’s sleep time right now, sleep well, love you” and
give them good night kisses.
It also is a pretty close match for the bed K is getting
(when I finish it, ahem), but if you get the Jenny Lind bed from Land of Nod
your little can actually have their bed and the doll med match exactly too and
that’s pretty sweet.
The little rosebud sheets match one of K’s sheet sets too
(made them out of an extra flat sheet), and the little colorful quilt is a mini
of on my mom made for her. The duvet will be a mini of her duvet when I find
the right eyelet lace to add in strips.
I did finish the little Christmas quilt (because it is
little, and was machine quilted) but I did not finish hand quilting the bigger
one and I think I’m actually just going to pack it away for a while because I’m
ready to knit and think of spring things. It’s been fun, but it is very Christmas-y
so I’ll pick it up again later.
I actually did not do any Christmas knitting at all this
year, unintentionally. I feel like there should some knitting in here somewhere.
Next year.
