Encouragement for Making Gifts, 2016 version ;)

Happy birthday!!!

[Tampa Doll]

Good Morning.

 

I went to oranges, as the kids got older, they did not want homemade gifts and there was no way I could afford what they wanted.  So it became a family gift and Wa La oranges.

 

I have relaxed enough and I think I will start a couple of things for next year.

 

I know this year seems to be moving right along.  We are almost to the end of the yearly sled ride, down the hill.

 

Hugs to all

I have been thinking about next years gifts. I have two ideas for my brother and SIL and my sister and BIL

 

1) name doilies displayed on a black serving tray under plexiglass (or framed if the tray idea fails)

 

2) kitchen sets of a purchased over the sink draining rack, a drying pad (large 2 strand cotton crochet mat)

Scrubbies and a clean/dirty sign for the dishwasher.

 

One decorative one practical will see which i feel like doing.

Not sure, but I think the speed with which time goes by is in direct correlation to the years I've been on the planet....

2) kitchen sets of a purchased over the sink draining rack, a drying pad (large 2 strand cotton crochet mat)I made a drying mat for myself years ago, 2 strands and all - it wears like iron! Great idea!
Scrubbies and a clean/dirty sign for the dishwasher.

If I were you, I would do the practical first in case the decorative one gives you problems. Just the way I operate: easy first.

I don't have the pics to post yet but I did finish the 4 scrapghans I made for my niece's 4 kids. My niece on husbands side like the one I made for the girl that she's getting the granny ripple version for a high school graduation gift next year. Making small dents in my yarn stash.
