Thank You! I can't wait til she adds more! I have my notebook started, and since I was feeling crafty, I even sewed up a little tote bag.

Finally finished the second scarf. And I am not going to make another one for awhile no matter how much anyone begs me too.

Also got fleece blanket done for Kenny's teacher it took awhile even though it was small because he was helping with cutting and tieing. Now he wants to make more.

I really need to pick up a lock to put on craft closet door since I am also using this as gift closet plus Miss Makayla does not know how to stay out of it.

I'm in!

I got my DS10 "folder" done (it's a 6 pocket envelope for all his stuff. For those of you who don't already know he's autistic)

I am still clearing out the "craft" areas. The majority of my time will be spent on my notebooks & my UFO projects.

Shop for supplies??? :rotflol:

I think I could craft for a year or two with what's in my stash!

But making an inventory of it isnt' a bad idea, and a list of what I want to accomplish this year. Thanks for the start Princess! :heartbeat:

 

[pattycakes]

[] Organize bookshelf in craft room
[ :heartbeat: ] Continue cross-stitching DS12's birth sampler--2 hours this week so far!

I've subbed at DS's middle school every day this week, so my stitching time has been limited. I hope to work on more and get the bookshelf done this weekend!

That is what my list is Christmas gifts with some other things shot in there as well. Since I make so many of my Christmas gifts it does take me most of the year to get them done. Plus I do make some birthday gifts also. And on top of that there are things that have to be made for racing.
