snickerdoodle, the Cricut will cut stencils out of contact paper to be used to do glass etching with Armour Etch paste. Very easy, fast and can be very economical for gifts.

Wow the cricut for cake decorating is really interesting. Those cakes are beautiful. I hope to do some of the etching. You're right, those would make great gifts! Can't wait to get started.

I'm looking for a washclothe pattern that can be done on the Knifty Knitter. I'd like to make some for Christmas and add a nice bar of soap with them...My mom's birthday is in Feb. might do her the washclothe or a scarf. The washclothe/soap would be better as she doesn't get out alot.
Becky that is quite the list you have there...

Start with this one. The rest will follow. If you put this one off for the end, the others may not get done either.
Ahorsesoul.. why do you say that... just curious.. cause I think you know me better than I even know myself if you said that....
I think all women are like this. We do for others but not for ourselves. If we'd do for ourselves first we would have more energy to do for others. Please post a photo when you get it done. I'd love to see it.

snowqueen, I like your tote-to-tote idea! I have a box with projects in it, but it seems to be "out-of-sight, out-of-mind"! My current list of projects is:
finish scarf for sister
finish scarf for harp teacher
finish mohair-from-hell scarf for mother
finish afghan for nephew (and one for his brother!)
finish quilted throw for son
finish sweater for me, which keeps being moved to the bottom of the pile
Am I the UFO queen, or what??

Lucie, I forgot to add -- those Santa hats, in miniature, would make cute placecard holders. I'll have to think about those for awhile.
That's a good idea Christmas Rose. I'll post more ideas tomorrow (my pics are on my work computer)

Hallelujah! I finished the scarf for my sister! And I'm decluttering, too! I feel so virtuous! Now if I can just stick with it!
Tricia, yes I saw it and I copied and pasted into a folder. Looks really easy. Will be adding that to my list of 2011 crafts.
