3rd Annual Great Variations Advent Calendar

My friend's aunt made this hat. She and her husband raise sheep and when she found out she was going blind, she decided she wanted to find something she could do once she lost her vision. So she turned to carding, spinning, and knitting, and practiced these hats until she could do them with her eyes closed. She made these hats for the rest of her life.

Not really festive, but the only wooly hat I have.

Too much eggnog again!

I know, a little late and not a reindeer, but way to much eggnog

Day 15, and it's time to get merry
Without stealing your Gran's cooking sherry
So where to begin?
Here, have some sloe gin
Made with some of last year's winter berries
