Christmas 2009?!

[a_stitchintime]

Do you always have a "Grand Plan" for Christmas gifts , and suddenly realize that you have, once again, run out of year? :eek

I would like to propose a CAL for Christmas 2009... to start as soon as December 26th.

The "rules" are simple... make your "list":think for NEXT YEAR... and go! :crocheting:crocheting this CAL does NOT need to be separate items from what you be making in other CAL's, just a place to keep track and :cheer for each other to FOR ONCE... finish early?

I don't know about you... but it sure would help me stay on track and motivated throughout the year!

...so, are you in?

[a_stitchintime]

[ScoobyDoo0811]

:yes:yes:yes I most definitely need to participate in this one :lol:lol. I have a tote already set aside to start putting things in. So count me in.

:cheer:cheer Get those ready ladies and gents Dec. 26th is just right around the corner so we can start away for next Christmas.

[The_Virginia_Hooker]

Oh, yeah, count me in, i know for sure that i have about 10 things (at least) that i need to make, not to mention my attempt to get some things made for a craft show next year.

[ratdog]

OK, I'm in!

 

When do we post our lists?

 

I want to add charity items to my list as well.

[a_stitchintime]

welcome, all!

this is certainly shaping up to be a fun group!

 

Start your first lists (if you're anything like me, it'll change a few dozen times... ), and we start right after Christmas! What a way to unwind from holiday stress, right?!

[homesteadingwife]

Well, I'm going to join!!! I planned on this last year, but it didn't happen. I did manage to make my SIL an afghan for her gift this year. I have one of those storage tubes, I place gifts in. And I have a list rolling around in my head for gifts.

Howdy Ladies:

 

I'm too for sure in this one... this is fun and I got already a tote where I will be placing all that i make as I really need to get a head start as of now I'm still crocheting gifts for this year so need to start early...

 

This year I made lots of snowman soup gift packs and crocheted snowflakes to attach to the snowman soup packs and then I have been handing them out to the staff at the doctors clinic and also I have made them some dish cloths with the nylon scrubbies ..

And all i hear is the oooohhhh and ahhhhhh's

I have even given some to the radiology dept staff and the lab staff and the hospital volunteers just to put a smile on their faces so for sure i must start early for 2009...

I will be posting photos here of all I make...

hugs to all

I am definately in. Iuually start in Spring anyway, but this year is the first year I ahve crocheted in years. I also want to do more charity crocheting.I just need to find a central place that I can put it and not forget where that is!

 

Also, I have made 6 little santa hats already for friends and the babies in their family. I got the pattern from Carons web site for free. I have been using ILTY in red and for the white, I have been using some of the fancy stringy white yarn bee stuff. I found it on clearance at HL. They have been so popular, I want to make some for the local hospital nurseries for next Dec.
