[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 12/20/17

[Dixie]

We have a family tradition.  I am starting to carry on the tradition my
mother-in-law started.  She would make Christmas ornaments for each of her
children's and grandchildren's families, and then at Thanksgiving she would
place them all in a bowl in the middle of the dinning table at dessert time.

This year I made the mini-sweaters for those ornament gifts.

I also made 2 fisherman knit Christmas stockings for one of my former Girl
Scouts who got married.

She just sent me a photograph of the stockings hung by the fireplace in her
new home.

I have a rule about giving handmade Christmas gifts.  If it isn't completed
by Thanksgiving then it isn't a gift for this Christmas.  In the past I
spent too many nights stressing about completing something in time to get it
under the tree.

That takes all the enjoyment out of making the gift and makes it a burden.

No more!  I am going to enjoy my crafting and give the gift when it is
finished instead of finishing the gift to make it in time to give it.

Happy Wednesday to all you crafters out there.

 

I hope you are checking your list and checking it twice because Christmas is
almost here.  I know some of you have been naughty and some have been nice,
but regardless we have the gift of KK.

 

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm frantically trying to finish up
a couple of handmade gifts before Monday.

 

What type of hand crafted items are the rest of you giving this year?

 

What kind of things have you given in the past?

 

Tell us about some of your successes or some of your failures.

 

I know this is going to be fun to read and maybe I will get some ideas for
next year.

 

Merry Christmas to all.

 

Nella
