what I need to be doing is pricing items for the

tag sale (ie yard sale)

i’m having this saturday.

instead, i’ve been making stuff

all weekend.

with the most wonderful

fabrics and wools

you’ve ever seen

some from my very own closet

some from Goodwill

and some from talented designers

like amy butler

i can’t wait to show you

what we’re making

and you’re gonna love the guest posters

my little elea has knit

her little fingers

to the bone

on her red scarf

we’re so jazzed about the

12 Days of Handmade Christmas Tutorials

that our creative juices are more like spritzers

bubbling over

making us merry

and distracting us from

things like

laundry

and toilet scrubbing

and yard-sale pricing

So, Save the dates

November 1-12

with 11 days of guest posters

hosted by me here at

i’d be so thrilled if you’d help me

get the word out

oh yeah, and the proceeds

from the tag sale?

an embroidery/sewing machine!

next monday, we’ll have a special

blog button for the occasion that you

can share with your friends.

hugs and happy monday!

p.s. I loved your ‘uni’ stories! y’all are funny.

Steve’s parents left yesterday and it was a whirlwind of fun; cooking, baking, knitting, and enjoying family time.

I was thrilled to learn to do cables and LOVE this yummy tiffany blue yarn.

Which brings me to the point of this post.

What if we all made an effort toward a more handmade Christmas.

Less stuff, more meaningful.

Not that we could go ‘cold turkey’ because last time I checked, noone was making handmade legos.

But you know what I mean. A little less Walmart, a little more from the heart.

So, to support and encourage us in our quest for more meaningful gifts, I plan to host

12 days of Handmade Christmas-Tutorials

beginning November 1 through November 12

here on my little old blog

with guest posters for 12 days straight.

Sounds like so much fun to me!!

I have been asking some really awesome bloggers/crafters to join me but I have some slots left

so if you want to show us how to make some Christmas-y craft/food/gift/etc

then let me know all about your ideas.

Or if you know someone

who knows someone

who’s really cool and crafty

then by all means

tell a sista.

Y’all may be so good that it turns in 28 days of Handmade Christmas Tutorials!

And why in November?

Because I don’t know about you, but I only have two hands.

And I’m working on some giveaways for that week too.

And I’m making wassail

And singing carols

And in general annoying all the people who hate the mention of Christmas

before Thanksgiving.

Let’s change things up a bit.

How ’bout it?
