I am just starting my christmas crochet as well. It's going to be tight, because there are so many birthdays in between. I need to sell enough baby stuff on DT to buy yarn for making Christmas stuff.....lol. It's a vicious circle. Even just getting slippers done for all the grandkids is going to be a challenge. (there are 8 now, i believe.)

 

Here's my list:

 

Slippers: Angela, Hailey, Bubba, Izaiah, London, Mark, Aislyn, and Jakob.

Market Bags: Brian, Penny

Crochet tote and felted hook cases: Kathy, Clancy

Afghan: Lisa and Ed, Pat and Don, Mom and Dad

Skirts or Longies for each grandchild, along with purchased tshirts

Slippers and Purse: Lizzie, Bethany,Kim, Lisa

 

In between there, I also still have to crochet for sale, and start dresses for Kim's wedding. She just added 3 bridesmaid dresses to the list!! How in the world am I gonna get 5 dresses crocheted on top of all this? I want to make my own to wear, as well as her gown, all her bridesmaids dresses, etc. (easy if she has her sisters as maids.) And to top it all off, Marky wants a dolly. So now I have to find a good crochet pattern for a doll and clothes that will stand up to a toddler dragging it everywhere. YAY, what fun.

 

And none of this includes time for gardening, canning or baking over the next 4 months. And I still need to get a job! There is not enough coffee in the world for this.
