Not bad for not having a pattern

This is a Christmas gift for Kaylee. I am very happy with how this turned out, especially since I didn't have a pattern. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the helmet even has a furry plume like the band uniform does in real life.

Here's the actual uniform for comparison.

Too bad the band got new uniforms at the end of the season. Does that mean I need to make another one with their current uniforms?

Class gift exchange for Anna

Found out last week that Anna needs a gift for her class Christmas party next week. Since most of our gifts this year are handmade, I decided this would be no exception. I found a cute pattern on Etsy for an amigurumi prince and princess. I figured most 6 year old girls love princesses. They turned out pretty cute.

I am going to be so glad when I get all these gifts made. I started back in October because I knew money was going to be tight this year. I have quite a bit left to do though. I am starting to freak out a bit that I am not going to get done. I love crafting but this is a bit much on top of school.
