Christmas is just around the corner! I must be one of several people to tell you this by now and I would not be alarmed if you had the urge to throttle me for saying so. Yes, it is still a number of weeks away, but I can honestly say that as each year passes, the holidays seem to come faster. It does not feel at all the way it did when I was a child. Christmas felt like it took 2 whole years to come and when it finally got here, I thought I was going to explode. I remember how wiped out the adults would be as I listened to their comments about "
having to do it all over again, before you know it..." Such party poopers! I totally get that now.
This year, aside from getting any shopping completed as early as humanly possible, I am making it a point to incorporate at least one handmade gift for each person. I have a few ideas brewing and I will be sure to share these with you as they come to fruition. Also, as mentioned in an earlier post, I have to get on with churning out some gift sacs (14, to be exact). These sacs are serving the purpose of stockings and they have to be a particular size. You see, stockings don't actually work in my family. The story behind the need for these will be explained in an upcoming post, no to worry.
And so (sew) it begins...
