80 days until Christmas. Does this freak anyone else out? I’m hoping to give a lot of handmade this year — even more than last year — so I’ve started working on a few projects already. This vest is for my sister-in-law, the same one that was hinting for a handbag. She is super into her ugg boots so I thought she might like this vest. Plus she is a tiny little thing so she can get away with something bulky like this. One thing checked off the list. Up next, a sweater for Tristan.

Wow, what a great vest. Looks so comfy and warm.
Now I understand! Fabulous vest. It wouldn’t do a thing for me, but I covet it nonetheless.
p.s. 80 days? Really only 80 days? I don’t think I am going to make it, and my list is shorter than your’s for last year…
love the vest! I am sure that it will look great on a tiny little thing…(you make me laugh). and 80 days? yikes. that quick? really? good luck with your handmade list.
She must be a tiny little thing if Katie can model her vest!
It’s dreamy. Almost as dreamy as your tiny little model. : )
OMG…. 80 days…. I have to get cracking…
thanx for the wake up!!
luv Abby
gorgeous vest!! I was also freaking out about Christmas the other day. Its always hard to get my head around the feeling that its so close, yet so far away at this time of year. I made nothing homemade for gifts last year, but this year I’m re-committed to giving as many handmade gifts a go as I can.
Well I wasn’t freaked out until you mentioned it…
Gorgeous vest! That yarn looks amazing!
I wondering if emma has been reading your blog–she can’t get christmas off her mind these days…
i love that vest by the way, and your pictures are beautiful!!
This is so precious! I think it looks fantastic on Katrina–super stylish!
