I've got the warm fuzzies right now---fire in the fireplace--which my husband got going before he left for his evening job, and I have actually managed to keep going for the last 6 hrs. Plus, the kids were bathed by 8pm and we watched "the Year without a Santa Claus." Cool. Plus our tree is up and decorated and the house deco is nearly done. Now all we need is gifts---anyone got $$$ to spare? Yeah I thought so. Oh well.
I'm thinking of making some gifts. I'm off work, so why not get the kids to haul out my sewing machine--at least I could make everyone sleep pants and stuff--thereby cutting down on expenses--they all need them, as for some strange reason, everyone decided to grow this past year!!!--and I already have the material for most of them--and at walmart, I can get more for a buck a yard. Never pay full price for this stuff--wait til the sales!!
About 10years ago I cross-stitched bookmarks for everyone--they went over really well with most people. I was with my ex at the time and we were on the verge of splitting up for good, and he was on the verge of losing his job too, so as I was a stay at home mom, I had the time and want to to do it. With the sleep pants, etc., if I can get them cut out, they are very quick to get stitched up, so I could theoretically turn out several pairs a day--depending on how my back is doing.
Hmmmm........could be a decent idea.......could be.....
