A flannel nightgown for Ivy(31/2), an apron for Breanna(9), and I am just now ready to begin knitting red mittens for Gordon(23 months).

handmade gifts
Mad last minute shopping frenzies in my opinion are a choice you make and as for me not a way in which I choose to spend the last days of Advent. I desire to be home making lists of cookies to bake, meals to prepare, planning how I am going to set my Christmas table, and getting the house ready for the arrival of family. And since I do like to make simple handmade gifts for the grandchildren if at all possible, these days leading up to Christmas may provide just the needed time to do so. I have been nursing a sore throat for several days, drinking mug after mug of herbal teas and taking elderberry syrup, therefore, sitting in my sunny sewing room to sew those gifts are delightful, just before Rose and Ivy arrive tomorrow night and my days will look quite different.

Did you beat that cold, or did you join the thousands whose Christmas celebrations included uninvited "viral guests"?
Your gift projects sound really nice. I hope by next Christmas I'll be in a position to make some gifts!
Happy New Year, Cathy!
