Craft Holiday

What a crafty holiday it was today. I finished a handknit pair of socks for myself this week and celebrated by wearing them while finishing up some other projects. They are comfy and stretchy and I can't think why I haven't made more for myself before.

I worked hard on all of the circus mice that were languishing in a project bag in the closet. Below are the juggler and bee trainer. The bees are too cute.

I took a break and made that other bracelet in a green and gold combination. It came out very nice and lush looking. The gold was a nice accent to the green. I have a cool idea for a fitted box using extra silk and foam core remnants.

Above is an acrobat and to the left a clown. My favorite is below. He is the escape artist, complete with blindfold, rope to tie him up with and a ball and chain to weigh him down. His outfit is bright and distracting to the eye. He's very good at escaping.
