A couple of finished projects, and one half done

I finished the doll sweater I was working on, but I won't get the child sweater finished in time for the holidays. I'll have it done for her birthday in February. I've also been making armwarmers for my daughter's friend back in PA. I've got one finished, and am starting the other today. The pattern didn't have a hole for the thumb, and I didn't feel like futzing with a thumb gusset, so I just added in a buttonhole where the thumb is.





I've also decorated the mantle for the holidays. I purchased the wreath and garland from Michael's, and they already had the pinecones attached. I added the rest. I'm very happy with how they came out, and I LOVE having a mantle to decorate.
