Christmas is a time for giving, and this year I gave a few homemade gifts. I thought I’d share some here!

This is a Christmas card I gave. Yes, there was writing too, but I’m not sharing any.

Here’s another one. I was pretty happy with it.

One last card. These took hours each on average. I suppose I’m slow.

This chubby little bunny was made for gem. I had to learn how to hand sew to make this. It was slow at first but got faster as I learned different stitches.

The side angle lets you see his little tail.

She liked him! I’m really happy with how the bunny turned out. I think he’s pretty adorable, and he’s quite cuddly too.

This is a cute photo. I like the bow tie. It’s attached with a safety pin rather than being sewed on so that it can be moved to become a ribbon on the ear instead!

Anela likes alpacas – particularly stuffed alpacas in costumes.

I made this alpaca and then decided to put it in a belly dance costume.

Anela recognized it right away, which definitely made me happy!

It was based off one of the belly dance costumes that she’s worn. Plus I added a bell because… well… I like bells.

Evyerthing I made was well-received, and I had a ton of fun making them. It was strange when I finally finished; I didn’t know what to do with my free time. I spent countless nights in December working until 6 in the morning. Most of my free time the entire month was spent working. I decided to watch Parks and Recreation while working and got through three and a half seasons. I might be slow, and I might not be the most skilled, but I’m diligent!

On Sunday I went to the OC Fair and saw lots of cool stuff. Of course, first thing’s first. I had to eat. I had some tasty bacon-wrapped mushrooms with Gouda to start my day and then wandered into the butterfly enclosure.

I had a butterfly mustache!

After putting some nectar on my nose, I got the butterfly to land there. Honestly, something about it freaked me out and I just wanted it get off.

I didn’t mind one being on my head though.

I also checked out the farming area. The Brussels sprouts looked and smelled to tasty! I love them.

This sign taught me how to wash my hands. Good thing it was there. I always thought I was supposed to rinse with soap, not water.

gem’s family called me White Leghorn (not to me though). I had to get a picture with the sign.

Then I rode my trusty steed away!

I checked out the visual arts next, which is usually one of my favorite parts. It must be pretty cool to have something shown there I’d think. I looked at the photographs, paintings, crafts, woodworking, and place settings. I’m not surprised that I like most of those, but it does seem a little strange that the place settings are interesting to me.

In the middle of looking at these competitions, I stopped for more food! I had fried zucchini topped with nacho cheese, jalapeños, and bacon! It was okay, but I wish the portions were much smaller. I also tried fried avocado dipped in ranch. That was pretty tasty actually!

The rabbits were adorable of course. This little guy was munching with his paws in his bowl, so I mimicked him.

After the animals, it was time to look at the collections. I looked at everything and read the descriptions as well. On my way out, the man who worked there stopped me to comment on how I looked at everything and suggested that I enter next year. We talked about collections for a few minutes. He collects martini glasses!

On my way out of the fair, I saw more animals. Lots of animals. I couldn’t leave without going in the petting zoo. One pig looked pregnant – but no, just fat.

Unrelated to the fair, my odometer hit 33,333. That was kind of interesting.

And then I had pizza for dinner! (Don’t say it, Anela.)
