New Hair!

It's purpler than the photo shows, and for some reason (I think they think they're being kind) the children are unable to take a photo which includes my chin!

The cunning thing about this hair is that if I have the parting on the right (as pictured), it's purple on top, but if I put the parting on the left (where it normally lives) it's brown with just some purpley bits showing through - kind of night and day...!

More holiday crafty goodness.  Here's how the babette blanket is shaping up (these progress photos have mostly been on Twitter until now...) and my doesn't it go well with the rug???

And here's one where the Quilt Inspector has crept in:

He doesn't quite get crochet.  He tried to join in once, by chewing all my lovely wooden hooks.  All he got was a severely smacked nose  (I was rather disappointed he didn't get spinters, I must admit!)
