As most of what I made during week 33 was for Christmas presents, I held off showing them until now.
For an IG friend I made this little bear and patchwork quilt.
I made a coat for Howard Bear - whom incidentally I seem to have forgotten to introduce!
I made Howard at the end of November and finished him on the 1st. When I put Howard next to 'Lawrence' I realised I had made a grave mistake and Lawrence was actually a 'she' and Lawrence was in fact their surname....and so without further ado, let me introduce Hilda and Howard Lawrence (usually known as Howard Bear).
I made Hilda's skirt and Howard's trousers and jumper.
I knitted Little Gem a Christmas dress.
I made a Christmas dress for Natalie, my new baby.
Plus I knitted her some booties and then a romper suit.
For another friend I made a dress for a teenage type doll such as Sindy etc... a little knitted dress for her Nancy Ann Story book doll and a shawl. (I forgot to take individual photos of them)
I made Kiwi Sindy a Christmas dress with some lovely fabric that was on special in John Lewis before Christmas.
I also made Gorgeous Sindy a Christmas dress.
Lastly I got this fabulous vintage cloth kit fabric sheet for Christmas from a friend. Don't worry there is a fourth arm pattern, it was just loose and I missed it out of the photo.
I finished them on Friday.
I thought of a really good name for them both, but then promptly forgot it! Hopefully it will come to me again as I think it really suited them.

I will try to sum up my 'Creative 2019' if I can before the New Year!

I love Hilda and Howard! They're quite a fashionable looking bear couple.
