I start every Christmas season hoping to make mittens, hats, and scarves for my kids and threes nephews and one niece.  And a pair of socks and a hat for my man.  So far, this hasn’t happened.  This year will be no different.  I’m thinking a hat or scarf and one sewn gift is all I can realisticly pull off.  As for the mittens…well, I’m still too scared to try thumbs on a deadline.  Socks?  Did I actually say I would do that?  That’s even scarier.

I have only completed two kids worth of knitting and no sewing projects.  I will not lose heart though.  Where there’s a will there’s a way…right?

Today is the day I dust off the old sewing machine and start putting some miles on it.  Be looking for progress reports.  Now that I said it out loud, I’m held  to my word.
