Christmas 2009?!

[teakaycee]

*whew*.... I have been stashbusting away.... getting charity projects worked.. swap projects worked and a couple of CALs going. I want to be able to get at least one person's Christmas gift done this month... but would love it better if I got two done.

So much to do... so little time............ I mean Christmas is only 352 days 6 hours and 5minutes away ... but who's counting................

HaHaHa, you are too funny! I'm hoping to get something done this month too, thats the whole point of this right? But where to find the time!

:shrugWow, haven't been on the forum long enough lately to go through some of the threads....already I'm way behind. I've joined the scarf a month CAL so that would be for XMas gifts. Also, need to finish an afghan I had started last year but just put it aside. It was going to be a gift but:shrug...

 

Anyway, it'll make a nice gift this year.

 

I'll also be making socks/slippers, fingerless gloves, hats, more afghans, totes/bags/purses, dishcloths, ornaments/snowflakes. I think I'll just make them and put them in a nice super large ziplock bag. I had a few items completed and they came in handy as last minute - totally forgot this person - gifts

[teakaycee]

Okay...I have this all completely under control.....

I have a bag in the van with a project in it... I have a tote near my chair in the living room with a project in it... I have a tote in the dinning room with a project in it (I can crochet during family game time) I have a tote in the kitchen with a project in it (where I can watch dinner and stir this or that and get a few stitches in).... and I have a couple totes with projects around my chair in my bedroom.

So you see.... all under control.......................

Blessed Be.

Got the rest of the yarn for my nephews afghan. I think it is coming along nicely. (see tiny/small motifs for updates on this one)

I tried my hand at my first dishcloth. It is useable but won't lay flat so Ill have to find a different pattern to make for gift. One that well lay flat I hope. lol

Snowflakes

 

Thanks for looking.

I need to catch up on reading some posts.

[homesteadingwife]

Well, I haven't been on in awhile. Been busy and had sick kids. I have completed 3 dishclothes and 1 potholder. I know that don't seem like a lot, but it is a start.

 

My List:

For my SIL: 7 dishcloth's, 4 potholder's and if there is time a few angel ornament's, since she collects angels, but doesn't have any for her tree.

 

For my dear friend: shawl in blue (not sure what pattern to use yet)

 

For my grandmother: shawl, dishcloth's and potholders

 

For Hubby: crocheted sock's

 

For a niece: a afghan (she has been asking for one)

 

For MIL: dishcloth's, potholders and maybe a lapghan

 

For Daughter: A couple of bed dolls

 

For Son: ??? Just don't know what to make yet.

 

For BIL: ??? He collect's dolphins, maybe something in filet crochet. I'll have to think about his as well.

 

Well, at least I have a start.

I haven't written up a list yet officially (well, not finished yet) but I have made two scarves and a half a pair of mittens so far. I'll finish the mittens today and start a hat to go with the other scarf. Then two gifts will be completed

 

I really should actually get a list written out and finished. I just keep seeing such cool things to make, I can't decide, lol.

[JoBug]

Oh I got ONE dishcloth finished last night in my post surgery haze..lol...but it looks okay today...hahahaha, suprise suprise, so that makes THREE dishclothes done.

[Isabel]

Finally found the yarn I was looking for to make the shawl for my MIL and ordered it a few days ago. It's going to totally ruin my stashbusting score. Oh well at least it for a good cause. So as soon as it arrives I'll get to start on some Christmas gifts. Looks like everyone is getting a good start so far.

Yes I'm falling behind myself I've been busy making scarves so now I need to try to focus on Christmas presents to make everyone for next year and my 5yr old wants me to make her a scarf from Redheart's soft yarn since I made her hat out of it and she loves it

[unicorn37757]

Oh I thought things would settle down after the holidays, but NO! My son decided to totally redo his room (he's an adult) you know painting, new bed covers, new accessories & it's been a nightmare around here while he moves things back & forth between working:eek

[Isabel]

The yarn I ordered arrived yesterday so I can finally start on a few Christmas presents! Hopefully I'll get one or two of them done this month. I started on my StepMILs shawl this morning and it looks so beautiful so far. It's going to turn out even better than I thought.

I make it a point to ALWAYS stop for a request from 1 of my children! Those projects are the best!

I vote this is the BEST NAME of a list that I have seen yet! Can I use it?!

[Isabel]

...can't wait to see it!!! what color are you using?

 

I'm using Bernat Cool Crochet in Velveteen. It's a lovely velvety shade of burgundy. And the yarn is so soft. My StepMIL is going to it!
