elving ~ part one


It's even more of handmade Christmas and Solstice this year than ever before. My list is quite lengthy so an early start is need. Apologies for everyone who is cursing me for even mentioning the 'C' word.

Currently I'm wrestling with quilts for my nieces. I don't see enough of them so I'd like something handmade to keep them warm and hug them while we are apart.

Then there is knitting, more sewing, School costumes to make (a gold ring and a calling bird), cooking and clay....

What are you making to give this year?

  2. Don't worry, the work has started here as well. Slowed down a bit, but still working on it. Went back to work today, so I'm starting to feel human again.

    1. I'm glad you're on the mend Melissa - I'm also glad I'm not the only early Christmas maker!

  3. Due to popular demand, this was supposed to be the year of the gift socks but Life got in the way. I am thinking that to make up for it, I will ask the family to gift me sock yarn they pick out for themselves and maybe, just maybe over the course of the next year I will be able to deliver.

  4. It sounds like you are busy! I'm looking forward to seeing what you make. I am crocheting a cushion and a scarf. Also, anything that does not sell at the xmas craft fairs will be given to everyone I know. x
