Manly scarf, free pattern--can't find it.
Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, taupe |
Yesterday at quilting class I was bragging about how I make all my Christmas presents (except for the ones I buy at the last minute, right?) and someone asked how many I have finished. Many moons ago I wrote that I had to make something every four days. I'm pretty sure you know how that went. When I got home, I made a list of all my peeps and crossed out the ones that I've completed. Of the 24 names on the list, I've crossed out two. Why did I think I was doing so well?
(I know why. Even though I am finished with two, I have eight more that I am nearly done. Add in one that I am buying (my cousin-I-never-talk-about gets gift cards because she's down on her luck) and I'm almost halfway done. Next weekend, the dude will be playing in a chess tournament, so I should be able to whip out four or five more. Also, I am a cockeyed optimist.)
I still don't know what I'm making for my dad, but
Sew, Mama, Sew is doing their Handmade Holiday round-up again and they've gotten round to
men.

Restitched that black lining three times.

Awesome! Sounds like you are right on top of things!!!
I love the bag! It really came out well. I tried to cross stitch all my gifts this year, I won't finish - but I really made an effort. Next year, I shorten the list!
Your bag turned out great!
You'll get there. 24 handmade gifts... wow. Well, except for the gift card. You certainly have me beat!
Wow. That's a great bag. Cute scarf too. I've just about given up on making anything handmade every again. Sigh...
