This is the first Christmas in SIX (count 'em..SIX) years that I have only made ONE crafty gift. I made my bil a pan of cinnamon rolls and several family members homemade peppermint schnapps~ and lots of sweets, mind you, but only ONE single solitary gift from a place other than the kitchen.
Why?
Um. Bunkin.
oh yeah-and my sewing machine bonked out on me after the move. My only Christmas gift request was to get it looked at...and it still hasn't happened YET-but VERY soon, me hopes. (and prays. and pleads. and begs. and pines after.)
So-even though I wanted SO badly to get some crafting done, I guess God thought it for my own good that I was given a hiatus. So be it.
The one gift I DID make, was fittingly for my beloved. He had mentioned wanting a beanie hat, coveting especially hard upon the slew of gorgeous winter hats the children recently received.
So, I crocheted him one. And it felt really good!
Now, he can't ever say I never made him anything! ;-)

I didn't get a lot of handmade done either. Love the crocheted hat though!
I'm having a "Slash the Stash" over on my blog this year. Join me and we can make things all year long!
On a related note, I was going to write and ask you where you got those great hats for Corynn and Andrew. I really wanted some for my girls! Finally found them at Target. Now I'm looking for one for me! Any ideas? I probably could crochet one, but I'm not that great of a crocheter with a pattern.

You did a beautiful job! I love the colors!!
That's my girl!
I love it -- the colors are perfect!!!
It's hard to crochet a man's hat that looks
"arrr...arrr...arrrr -- MANLY", but you managed it. I am duly impressed.
Blessings on you and yours in this new year.
Those colors are gorgeous! (In a overtly masculine way, of course...)
You did a fantastic job! It's the ninth day of Christmas, and I still haven't started sewing any gifts. Maybe you could crochet my children a few little somethings by Wednesday? :)
That is REALLY a nice hat!
Hi, I like the hat and the colors are especially nice. I think I may have to whip one up for my son now! Thanks so much for stopping by today.
