I have been making some rice "socks", as they are lovely to take to bed during the cold Maine winters, not to mention they are a natural way to soothe aches and pains! I almost never go to bed without one, which I put down by my feet:)
I am also sewing up some fabric ornaments, things I have had in my stash for a few years and have always forgotten. While I was in my stash I dug out some other, coordinating fabric, so if I have time I can try and use them up too!
The fabric with ornament prints are from 78'! Not sure if I am going to use them on a vintage themed tree or if I will make them into a wreath, we will see, I think I am going to have a candy cane themes Christmas this year:)
I have managed to knit up 3 pairs of slippers so far, with the 4th almost ready to come of the needles. I am going to try and make as many pairs as I can, and they make a good all 'round gift.
Pinterest has given me SO many ideas of things to do and make, but I am pretty sure there isn't enough time in the year let alone day, to do as much as I would like! I am excited that Thanksgiving is a little early this year, because that means I can start celebrating Christmas that much sooner! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Christmas!!!! Are you making any gifts this year? Let me know, I am always looking for new ideas!
I love those slippers, they look so cosy! I am starting to feel the urge to do a little Christmas crafting. Think I will have a go at some ornaments for the tree.
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped in Andrea! The slippers are cozy, my sister makes a request of a pair or two every year, as I am the only one in the family who makes them:) Hope you have fun making ornaments, I am going to see if I can craft a few this year, someday I would like to have a tree covered in mostly homemade ornaments!
