A List

I thought I would write a list today. I hope you don't mind.

* Halloween was great. See a pic of my kiddies in their costumes here.
* I know it is only November 3 but I am REALLY getting excited about the holidays.
* I am making almost all Christmas gifts this year and they are all in various states. Super hero capes, crocheted scarves (I am really getting addicted), pincushions, embroidery AND I am trying to complete them all by 12/1. Hmmm....
* So due to the above lofty goal I may be a bit sparse with posting here.
* I am awaiting some new Art Biz Mama answers. I can't wait!
* My wreaths are going to be published in a new gift guide!!
* I thoroughly cleaned the kitchen yesterday and it made the day so much lighter. It is amazing what a super clean room can do.
* If you have a link to handmade gift ideas please share.
* I really wish I could participate in Louise's holiday creative color challenge ornament swap but I think I already have a full plate. If you want to participate head here.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I am off to do the blog hop.

dana

Hi Dana!

You are getting so much done!!! How are you doing it all...tell me your secrets!! :) I too am so excited about the holidays. I've already had to talk myself out of getting out the Christmas music!! I love the idea of all handmade gifts! I need to find some neat ideas and get creating myself! Can't wait to see what you've been working on!

Take care,
Jennifer

A list in return :D

- Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming!
- You crochet? Me too! I'm a scarf/throw rug hooky fiend.
- I haven't forgotten you! It's half written. Art Every Day Month is eating more than I expected.
- I love your wreaths! And I was thinking about them when I created my first mandala the other day.
- clean rooms are something I used to have.
- handmade gifts - crochet - have you checked out Ravelry.com's pattern library? Lots of drool worthy stuff there, though likely time consuming.
- I'd love to participate in the ornament swap, too, but yeah, same thing here, I'm pretty, much fully booked.

I hope you're having a great week, too.

It is hard to put into words how impressed I am that you are making ALL of your gifts by hand. I am wowed beyond belief, and I do hope that you post pictures for us here, I would love to see what you are making and for whom (although I'm sure you can't reveal too much so as not to ruin the surprise!).
I am also getting very excited for the holidays. I've been wondering if it is too early to start listening to my favorite holiday music. Maybe just in the studio ;)

Your kids are soooo cute in their halloween costumes! I'm starting to long for Christmas too. Congratulations on having your wreaths published in a new gift guide!

That is a great list (I love lists!) and that crochet is so inviting. Sorry I have been so quiet, my exhibition is 3 weeks away and I am just about not sinking. xx

Hi Dana, sounds like you're keeping busy! Congrats on your wreaths being published in a guide! I can't believe that Xmas will be here soon. Have you seen the new Gifted mag by Creature Comforts Blog? It includes some handmade ideas :) Wini xo

Hey Dana, great to be here, I love making lists - I get much more done, and there is still so much to do! I too had decided this year that I would give handmade gifts this year, better get off and start! Stay blessed:) Amanda
