All done!

The toy parade is coming to end, at least until next year's toy drive. I busted butt to finish the last 2 toys this weekend, so the box can be mailed over tomorrow. Talk about making it just under the wire!

The Kansas Hooker posted this adorable mouse pattern this weekend. I realize the irony in crocheting a mouse, now that we're finally moving out of this mouse infested apartment., but he was too cute to pass up. Pi mentioned that his whiskers look more like a mustache...and well, I think she's right. lol



The 20th and last toy is this Frieda the Fish from Lion Brand. I've been working on this one off and on for a few weeks now. I was stumped by the "knit in the front and the back" instructions, but figured it out after a quick Google search. It doesn't look a thing like the picture, but I'm proud of myself for finishing it.



All packed up and ready to go!



Speaking of packed...we started packing this weekend. Not a fan.

Congratulations on finishing the toys ... especially with all you've had going on. Packing isn't any fun, but just think, a new place! Yippee!

That fish is so stinkin' cute! I really need to extend my knitting skills beyond dishcloths. Thanks for the inspiration.
