luludou - Thank you!
And I love the orange crate! That is going to look SO pretty when it is all put together and lit up!!!
OK, I'm excited and have to share. I've been pondering my crafting plans for Christmas this year - with saving $ in mind. I think I'm going to take a leaf out of CEO's book and use the principle of many.
I'm going to make a craft (or in this case a series of crafts) - but I'm going to make it for several people on my list. That way I'm not buying a bunch of specialty supplies that I am only using a little of each one.
So this year is going to be a year of Kitchen Baskets or just kitchen themed gifts for all the ladies on my list, sisters, dear friend, MIL, SIL, you name it. I'll try to pick up some pretty baskets somewhere or I may just wrap it all individually - not sure yet...
I'm going to attempt some SEWING...like real live machine sewing. Yipe! But we're talking all straight lines and I think I can handle that. I have before - I just need to get used to machine I have access to right now.
On my list for each person are:
- Potholders
- Embroidered Flour Sack Towels
- Dish Towel Clip
- Rubber Gloves with Fabric Cuffs
Two lucky ladies will also be receiving a nifty reversible apron. And I may do a grocery sack holder for one DSis. I plan to coordinate fabrics across all the projects - just haven't decided if I'm going to choose Christmas theme, or just colors that could be considered Christmassy or what.
I could always knit some small dish cloths from Sugar n' Creme yarn...might do that.
And I have a few more ideas for things I could cheaply buy or simply make for little to no cost that would add to the ensemble gift.
It will all come down to getting the best price I can on fabric, ribbon, etc. so I'll be making heavy use of JoAnn's coupon policy!
They just opened a new store right by us and I am LOVING that!
