I am almost done with all of my Christmas projects. Unfortunately, I have saved two of the most time consuming for last. On the flip side, I have also saved to of the quickest. Today I will go to pick up yarn to complete a handbag for my cousin. I expect it will be finished by Sunday. Then I have slippers for my father, a large shawl for my grandmother and a spa set for my aunt. I think the shawl will likely take most of November to finish. The slippers seem simple enough and the spa set looks to be time consuming but simple. I definitely think I will accomplish my goal of hand-making 50% of the Christmas gifts this year.
The problem I am running into is creative gifts for the guys. I can make any number of amazing handbags or shawls for the girls. It is finding something other than slippers or a hat/scarf combo for the guys that keeps throwing me for a loop. Maybe I should stop worrying about it and just do scarves and hats for all of them in different colors and patterns. If I found a large enough gauge, I could probably work those in and do something hand-made for everyone in the family.
I will keep you updated on the progress.
On a sad note, I am afraid I haven't lost any weight and don't see that changing anytime soon. I just can't seem to make it a priority in my life. Ah well, when it becomes important, it will change.
