Make my own Christmas gifts

... 2 Japanese handbags and a mug bag…

I’m going well ~

... have been made ~

... if I am to make mail and personal deadlines….

I have gathered a few ideas together, and am getting set up!

Christmas is coming…

This year, I’m going to try to complete this goal. Must start thinking about this goal, and start chipping away at it so that there is plenty of time.

My book came in with a ton of nifty things I can do. It’s awesome knowing I have a ton of supplies already around the house.

Well, I started several but only finished one. And that was only because I left off a couple of details. Anyway, I’m dropping this from my list til it’s closer to Christmas for this year.

In this instance, I can actually say that time is finally on my side! ha ha!

I found a few books with nifty projects I would like to start on. I figure it would be best to get somewhat started now.

Well I made the candy today. It took forever… but it all turned out pretty well. I ended up with like 4 dozen peanut butter cups, which I’m happy about. And I started earlier in the day this year so I wasn’t finishing at midnight.
