CrochetMania Secret Santa Strikes!

Today I received a box of goodies from my Secret Santa at CrochetMania. It turned out to be Pricsstrish. She sent a wonderful box of stuff.






I got a green m & M box (with M&M's inside of course)
a rubber ducky
snowflake socks
2 hot pads
1 dishcloth
small purple stocking with Hershey's Kisses, a lavender Sharpie, and a snowman ornament inside it
a lighted crochet hook (size "H")
lavender eye mask
pine scented candle
package of fresh scents sachet

Thanks for everything, Secret Santa (a.k.a. Pricsstrish)!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Christmas Coasters, and a Seraphina Shawl

Here are some Christmasy Coasters that I made from the Cocoa & Cookies pattern in the issue of Crochet World. I didn't embroider the suggested candy canes on the coasters as I don't like to embroider. Perhaps next time I will put some crocheted holly leaves and berries or a snowman on the coasters.

And here's an icicle snowman that I made.

I need a bit more experience with the fabric paint as it looks like it smeared a bit on the snowman's mouth. Oh well, everyone has to start somewhere, right?

And last, but not least is the latest Seraphina Shawl that I made.

I completed this shawl last month, but this is the first chance I have had to take a pic and post it. This is the third Seraphina that I have made and I have yet to make one for myself. Perhaps, after the holidays I can get around to making one for myself.

Happy Holidays,

Sabrina
