UGH! I went to Old Navy yesterday because that is the only other CC I have. Good Lord!<BR/><BR/>I'm a MAD crocheter so I've been doing lots of gifts with yarn this year: felted coasters, hats, scarves, turtleneck doggie sweaters, small change purses made from felted sweaters, felted bangles made from knitted I-cords, kitty blankets in granny square and log cabin style, soap bags, washcloths, kitchen scrubbies.....<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I forgot SOMEthing! Hey Kerry, you have to sign up for Ravelry! www.ravelry.com is the place where you can get the most awesome patterns and help with knitting and/or crochet. You have to wait to be invited on right now but, if I were you, I'd get on the list. It's a crazy mad place and you can get all kinds of help. <BR/><BR/>I, too, have spent some time with my mom this week "doing the Christmas thing." We decorated her tree and crocheted (she knitted) together, went out shopping and eating......total blast! I need to do that more often because, one of these days, she won't be here to play with.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend!<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Leslie (the OTHER one!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-39441614310296623192007-12-14T07:53:00.000-05:002007-12-14T07:53:00.000-05:00Ugh, to braces!

The kids are at an age where we can keep things smallish. We try to keep spending around $150 p/kid. Then around $50 each for parents, siblings and in-laws. It adds up fast.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13346029743456538332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-28661245444726651342007-12-13T20:25:00.000-05:002007-12-13T20:25:00.000-05:00I can relate to the credit card thing.

So looking at your stuff online and your wishlist was pure torture. ;-)Michele Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795700164307968981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-20595113643765113052007-12-13T16:15:00.000-05:002007-12-13T16:15:00.000-05:00I don't even want ot hear it...

Anyway, I made my mother a bracelet....or, I should say, I attempted to make a playground bracelet for her Kerry! Let us not dwell on what it looks like shall we, it is the tought that counts. Other than that, I have made about 4 dozen (no joke) mothers/grandmothers rings at the request of friends for their presents!
