I'm going to redo my kids Christmas stockings. I'll post a picture when I'm finished. I'm also going to be making some homemade ornaments.

I'm not sure I should count this, but I'm knitting a scarf for one of my clients. (I'm a social worker) The thing is, it's for Christmas, but for 2007 -- I'm running LATE!

I haven't even begun to think about Christmas 2008. But I guess I better if I don't want to be late next year!

well the afghan i started ended up shorter on one end then the other, so i am going to have to rip it out and restart, good thing it is early in the year.lol

I'm putting a denim quilt together for ds#2...also for my "sit down -while watching -a -dvd craft" have been knitting dishcloths.

I'm a

but thought I'd join in too!
I have my list all made up and decided to work on a multiple gifts for this year...

* first up is a set of dishcloths - for everyone (15 of 49)
* next up will be a sweater I started in '06 but will have to frog due to shrinkage of the recipient.
* another sweater started in '05 - also needs frogging due to growth of the recipient.

So I have my work cut out for me!

I am crocheting scarves for 08 xmas and I thought I would try crocheting mittens.

I need to get my rear in gear. I havent did anything since the scarfs. and the christmas afghan i started last year in differnt panels is still there waiting lol
Maybe once I get paid this Thursday if it dont storm every second day like it looks like it will do. I'll get some cotton yarn and make some dishcloths on bulk for xmas gifts.

I have nearly finished a baby rug to go in my collection (should finish it in the next couple of days).

After that I am going to be crocheting a rug for our new lounge that will arrive in early June. I had begun crocheting a rug for my bed about three years ago and never finished it. It is in all different types of squares which are not sewn together yet. So I will pull it out and redesign it and finish it off for the lounge. The colours are perfect for it.

Then we will hopefully know if we are having a boy or a girl and I will be able to make some more rugs and a couple of outfits I have my eye on making.

So I will be busy for a while.

Not sure yet. I need to get in gear. Definitely something useful. I'll post something when I think of it. Maybe knit dish clothes. Sew handkerchieves for the guys.

I'm still working on the quilt for my mil and I am about to start one for my bils girlfriend. They have no blankets, "borrowed" my favorit one that I said she had to give back and tore a hole in it and have yet to return it. SO I am just going to have to make her her own so I can get mine back.

**jennypenny** · 03-05-2008, 08:57 AM

My goal is to have Christmas (except for my children) done by the end of summer. I look every day online for SUPER deals, but so far nothing. I am not crafty, they don't use homemade bath things, would not like jar gifts, and are generally hard to shop for...

Any suggestions for someone not so crafty? I don't have a sewing machine, and can't knit. (lost cause, I know) I need things for men, and women.

Thank you!

I'm thinking to stick with organization a while more, but making afgans sure does sound nice. I love crafts, crocet, quilts, sewing... recently I've expanded to power tools and re-purposing old stuff (see my photos to see my new kitchen island that was made from recycled stuff)

I've always wanted a off white afgan for my bed.......
maybe sometime soon if the amazement of power tools and how cool they are, ever wears off !
