The 8 Nights of Chanukah - night 8

and so to the last of my 8 Nights of Chanukah Tags.

I'm sorry to have finished and yet happy to see the full set at last.  I'll try and get a photo of them all in situ next week.

The 8 Nights of Chanukah - night 4

another fun one to do, I'm not sure if you can see the Star of David in the top lefthand corner - made from acetate.

The 8 Nights of Chanukah - night 2

and here is the second night.  I made the miniature Torah Scroll from a  bamboo domino.

The 8 Nights of Chanukah - night 1

I have to say I love the Tim Holtz 12 days of Christmas tags but for obvious reasons the theme is of no interest to me.  Since Tim started these a couple of years ago I have just watched and wished I could somehow adapt them then yesterday it came to me.  I am making 8 tags for the 8 nights of Chanukah and using the style of Tim's tags to influence mine.  So without further ado here is night 1....

hopefully I will have all 8 made ready to display when Chanukah starts sundown on December 20th.

nothing for a month then...

....2 posts in one day.  I have also been working on these recently.  I wanted to make card boxes for 3 of my friends as their Chanukah pressies, of course each box has to be full of cards and there are around 25 cards inside each box so you can understand that I have been a little busy lately.

Twins and their clothes...

....wow didn't realise I hadn't blogged for over a month - apologies.  The reason being I have been busy making presents for Chanukah.  I love to make most of my Chanukah presents and of course for the girls it had to be dolls and loads of clothes for the dolls. 

We started off with these cute Berenguer dolls - they are only 7 1/2" long.  The baskets will make ideal beds for the babies.

 I then knitted them a bunting each with cute little bonnets to keep their heads warm.

and for going out with their mummies they had to have these cute cotton dresses with pantaloons, hats and shoes

Of course they had to have something to sleep in so a sleeping bag each was next

For Sunday best cute little dresses with cloche hats and matching shrugs and of course little slippers

 for relaxed days they needed hoodies and leggins

and as the weather is turning colder I thought a nice warm winter's outfit to keep them snuggly warm.

now all I need to make is the bedding and a shawl each and they will be complete.  I'll blog those bits when they are finished.  Thats 2 presents down and another 10 to go - oh dear!!!
