SO, I think I will be getting a lot of my DIY Christmas stuff done! I think I'm about a third of the way finished...
I've moved on to cross stitching. I haven't done it in FoReVeR, but it's so fun! I found some stuff I want to put together... I will have to go buy some more picture frames when I get paid again.
I also wrote up a pattern for some slippers for one of my nieces. I tried out a pattern last week that I liked and they happened to fit the littlest one. I let her have them. (Forgot to photograph them first :/ ) Of course, now the other two want some. They don't fit in the baby sizes, so I have to come up with patterns or find some that I like. The middle child (that I made up the pattern today for) has pink and yellow slippers. I think I might put some kind of bow or flower on them before handing them off to her.
Zac thinks I need to stop indulging them. I usually bring my crochet stuff up with me when we go to visit my in-laws. The girls see what I'm working on, then want me to make them something. I made them all blankets for Christmas (pics on FB). I think for the one on-the-way, I'm making something that won't take a week to make. Like booties, a hat or something.
I've been trying to think of what I want to make/give to some aunts/uncles/cousins. I have a few pretty figured out. (Mostly cuz I know them better and they vibe on the same wavelengths I do. Makes it easier.)
I found a really cool superman pic i would love to make for Zac, but I know it's going to take forever. I think instead of making a million little black X's for the background, I'm going to see if I can find some black cross stitch material. I would post some more of the stuff I've done, but I don't want *certain* people to see them! I will be uploading sooo many pics after christmas this year. O_O
Should be fun. . .
