xmas presents part 1
I went a little crazy and made a bunch of my presents this year, but it was so much fun and I know they'll be appreciated. Now I'm almost at a loss for what to do, though! I have some things to work on while I sit inside and drink tons of coffee and wine and begin to watch The Wire and season two of Friday Night Lights, but not racing to get a present finished is an unusual feeling! Like, almost, relaxing?
I made three blankets, because everyone can use another blanket, right? I know I can. Dave makes fun of me because right now I have six blankets on my side of the bed. I'm a cold person--I also always have more laundry than him in the winter because at any time I'm wearing at least three layers of clothing.
For my parents, in cotton because they're in Florida:
For my brother Jon and sister-in-law Rebeccah:
For my brother Peter and sister-in-law Caitlin:
I also made a couple of things for my niece and nephew, but I haven't downloaded the pics yet. Looking at everything together when I was wrapping, it made me wonder how my fingers didn't just drop off! It didn't seem like a lot while I was making everything--it's not like I did all this in a month, I know at least I started my parents' one in the spring--but it does make me wonder if I should resolve to get out more in 2009, ha.
