Holiday Crunch Time

It's that time of year!  When everyone starts thinking of the holidays!

What does that mean for me?  Extra projects.  I have found myself full of special orders, ideas/plans for my work's craft fair, and on top of it all, I'm hoping to get some Christmas presents finished.  Luckily, I started working on Christmas gifts as early as last January, so I've already got a fair amount of them done.  Now I'm just on the last minute ideas.

Meanwhile, I have 3 orders I'm trying to finish up before Thanksgiving (if possible).  I know they are for Christmas gifts, so I want to try to have them completed early.  I'm feeling pretty good about them, as long as I get some time to finish them.  Gotta buckle down.  My friend Mary is in a similar situation, so we're going to hang out soon and have a knit night.  We did it once before and it was pretty fun.  Find some cheesy movie, catch up, and finish a project.  My favorite quote of the day from her: "If I wasn't married, I'd want to be your roommate so we could knit."  Apparently my certifiably insane work ethic provides great motivation for completing projects :)

Speaking of completed projects, I recently finished a pair of baby alpaca gloves, just like my gray ones, except this time in purple.  My friend Sam bought them on the spot the day after I finished them.  I hope she likes them :)  She's the sweetest cause she even agreed to purchase them through my etsy shop!



One last thing before I finish this post... I recently commissioned and purchased a tote bag from my co-worker Judy.  It's so absolutely adorable that I just had to post a photo of it here.  I've started using it to hold all my IP projects.  I needed a big bag to fit them all!

You can check out more of her work at her etsy shop and blog!
