Make-A-List Monday: Early Christmas presents

Um, what was I thinking?

My list last week was all wrong, and I'm fixing that.

Why am I working on the "local" gifts when I should be working on the gifts that the USPS will be delivering for me?

Silly Jennie.

So, my list for last week:

• Finish up that quilt

Tension issues. Breaking thread issues. Skipped stitches issues. Yeah. I'll be hanging out with my seam ripper. AFTER Christmas. It's in the corner for now.

• Work on stockings - piece tops and embroider names

3 of the tops are pieced. I'm going to have to get a bigger pattern. Headed to Kinko's later this week. We like our stockings bigger around here!

• Cut and sew softy owl

Cut. Got distracted by other gift projects.

• Cut and sew alligator softy

Cut. Will sew after the shipped stuff is done.

• Order the rest of my supplies, or hit JoAnn's

Done. Shopping is easy! I ordered the fabric for the library bags for my niece and nephews, the black minky for the Night Fury softies for my dragon-obsessed crew, minky for the dolphin and shark softies, then I hit JoAnn's sale this weekend for interfacing, thread, fusible fleece, and material for robes for my two oldest popsicle children.

• Check out all the giveaways at Sew Mama Sew

Easy. Did you win anything? I had such fun reading all the comments for my giveaway. I've got a whole list of movies to re-watch (or watch for the first time).

Okay, on to this week:

• Make zipper bag for SIL
• Make 3 library bags, when the fabric arrives
• Make two kindle cover
• Make one more passport wallet

If those get done, and they'd better get done and shipped:

• Sew owl softy for C
• Sew alligator softy for H
• Sew turtle softy for J
• Sew shark softy for W
• Sew dolphin softy for L
• Sew zipper bag for M, plus matching tissue holder and glasses case

There. I feel like the entire Santa sweatshop!

Happy crafting!
