30 Days till Christmas Eve.

I’ve got a heck of a lot of knitting and crochetting to do if I have any hope of accomplishing my goal of handmade gifts for everyone.  Yesterday I wrote that I have about 15 giftees…well today I actually wrote it down and it is more like 25.  Huh.  That’s a lot of socks.  (and in negative amount of time to do them). 

So I’ve downgraded some of them to (will be recieving gift IOU before I leave on Christmas break – I always need something to do at Mom’s over Christmas).  Just hope I don’t run out of steam.

Budgeting for all this…I know handmade gifts are way cheaper (unless you count the value of time) but this Christmas is still going to cost around $140.  I know people spend thousands on gifts but I just don’t and $140 is a lot of money. 

Was at Yarn Forward last night and hoooeeyy, yarn, (good yarn) can be expensive.  I realize that good quality work deserves good quality yarn but next year I think I’ll watch the sales a bit better.

Weekend is here!  Can you guess what I’ll be doing?
