Okay, so If you know me or follow me on twitter, you know that I am counting down to Christmas. This is due to the fact that I plan on giving a "Handmade Christmas" this year. And, well, Hopefully for the years to follow.
I am finishing up the craft swaps that I am involved with on craftster.org and then crafting for myself and my holiday recipients. I have started brainstorming. I guess, before I continue to brainstorm, I need to figure out who is on my giving list this year. So, really, who has been naughty and who has been nice this year? And then I also need to figure in a couple variable gifts... teachers, someone I may not have met yet, the babies of my friends that are expected this year and what charity(carities) I hope to donate to... You get the drift.
I do already have a few ideas. I plan on knitting a pair of cashmere fingerless flap mittens for my dear friend Maureen. I have a pattern for a knit hermit crab that I want to work up for my husband. I also want to make heat bags for my somewhat distant family members that I only see on Christmas. An aunt dropped some hints that she *loves* knit washcloths... so that may be on the agenda as well. We'll see.
I already have a lot on my plate, but that is why I am starting early. All of the above mentioned crafts are completely doable, providing that I allow myself the time. I will update my progress as it comes. (With photos, of course!!)

This is a really great idea- I really need to start working on this, myself! Goodness knows it takes me forever to figure out what I want to make for other people, haha.
