Gifts, gifts, and more gifts. Since last Thursday I have been busy planning, buying and making gifts for my family. I have a large family as you can see. So much money is spent on toys, video games, electronics, cloths etc. But I like to make some of my gifts. It means more to me, maybe not to the receiver. To me it means I'm willing to spend x amount of time on just you. Instead of quick cheap deals off of a walmart shelf. It all started a few years ago I taught myself how to crochet through the help of
www.youtube.com. The year after I made three of my sisters ponchos for Christmas. I don't know if they like them or not but I loved making them. I could personalize them as much as I wanted. Id spent countless hours surfing the net for the design that fit the sister, then picking the right yarn and color for them, and then any embellishments that spoke to me. I planned on six ponchos only three got made. The other three were hard for me to figure out since I was still a beginner in a way. Last year while I was pregnant I only made a poncho and hat set for my daughter, and a hat for my two older boys. Last year was hard for me to get up and do anything since I was so tired and sick from the pregnancy. Now this year, I have been doing the same as two years ago spending sooo many hours looking for the right patterns and picking the right yarns.
I have big plans so cross your fingers that I can make and buy the gifts I hope to.
Happy Holidays everyone and good luck with your gifting.
