three gifts for three sisters

I trust everyone had a splendid Christmas holiday filled with family, friends and delicious food. I was fortunate enough to have my entire family together, including spouses and kids! It was nothing less than wonderful; running around with my nephews and cuddling with my new little niece.
This year I wanted to make presents for my sisters. They didn't really have lists asking for things they would like, so I just found some patterns and started crocheting. Because I was at my in laws for Christmas, we weren't having our family Christmas until the next Friday, so I lucked out and had plenty of time to work on these three little projects.

This is a Bernat pattern; I thought it was cute.

These are some gold buttons that I found in a jar at my Mother in Law's.

This is a pattern from the latest issue of Crochet! Magazine.

It fit pretty well.

I'd been looking for a cute cloche hat pattern.

I hope to frequent here more often to share what I've been up to. I don't want to say that is one of my New Year's Resolutions because I read that only 12% of people stick to what they say... well this is probably closer to happening than my daily workouts. (I am 5/5 for workouts this week, so who knows?)

Here's to a even more creative & crafty New Year!
