I am making a rice and lavendar pillow for hubby this xmas for his shoulders, I am not a super crafty person but I am sure it will come out fine.

I'm making throw pillows from my son's old shirts (he's now a Marine). His prom shirt, his football practice shirt, and another favorits T- shirt.

Also making:

puppets for little ones

capes, soft jewelry, etc. for dress up play

card table covers - to make them look like castles, teepees, circus tents, etc.

I'm making homemade hot chocolate (you can find recipes online) and putting them in cute jars, some german (authentic german) apple muffins and jewelry for the women (if I can find cheap supplies that is).

I'm trying to get a bunch of things made in the short weeks left until Christmas. I am making 1 doll, 3-5 bracelets, an apron, an embroidered wall hanging (in the kind of medievel style embroidery), a tied fleece quilt (still need to buy supplies for that), a gourd (no idea what its going to be though... haha, I design as I work usually), maybe a small throw quilt, and two bags. I'm only buying a few things that I can't exactly make, like chocolates and teas.

I've been on the marble magnet kick!

I've made some for my mom, MIL and DH's grandma so far.

I was on a roll making gifts yesterday. I got three fleece scarfs made, one fleece headband, two pillow cases sewn. I also made a no sew fleece throw last weekend (with help from my friend). I still have a few more items to get done. Oh no, I'm running out of time.

We are making candles here. I bought all the supplis months ago when she were on sale. We are putting them in mugs I have decluttered and picked up at garage sales over the summer.
