Today I finally got around to finishing up the dish and bone that go along with this puppy (pattern by Jean Greenhowe). Meital has had the puppy for a while now, but the project didn't feel complete to me until I'd finished the accessories. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should make her another toy as a surprise for Chanukah, or maybe give her something to wear (fingerless mitts?).
Meanwhile, I'm working on another gift that is coming along nicely. I've managed a few rounds on Avi's second sock today, but I really need a nice long chunk of time. He needs to go to Jerusalem again on Sunday, so I hope that will be my opportunity. I have an idea for another gift, which I will start as soon as I finish the other one. Sorry to be so vague, but I don't know if potential recipients are reading this blog.
The cookies have been a big hit (no surprise there, I guess). And other than that, the only thing I have to tell you is that this little guy
has been waking us up at about five every morning this week (kingfishers have quite a raucous call when they're in flight).
I hope to have more baked goodies to share with you tomorrow (wish I could share them in person!).

Just so sweet! Does it say "Cookie" on the dish? That was my dog's name. I looked at the patterns and there are too many that I like. Policeman for my grandson (dad is one). Nurse (my daughter). All the "food" knitted items. Way too much fun!!!! Thanks for sharing the link again.
What a beautiful bird! I wish I could offer you my ears so you could turn them off at night when you need to. Meantime, that dog and dish are adorable. Knitted whimsy.
Amy I see your knitting addiction is as great as ever.You make the nicest things for family & friends.And do a good job of it too.That bird is beautiful.I feed them here in the winter. Woke up to snow on the ground & coming down , only a inch but beautiful to me.Just I can't take the blustery winds.

That puppy is adorable! and so are his lil' accessories!
...and I'm not a bit surprised your cookies were popular; they *still* make me want to drool...
How cute! My bear is stalled while my knitting ADD is taking me in all other directions.
What a sweet doggie set! My daughter would probably love that!
Oh and that bird? Amazing.
That is the cutest thing!
You are so clever; the kids don't have pets, do they? Happy knitting.
I love the puppy and the accessories. Sooo cute!
Caramel mini-chips? I wish I could find them here. Better yet, I wish you were here to bake for me. Yum!!
