I don’t like early Christmas posts, but some of these projects take longer than others. I want people who like an idea shown here to be able to use it this Christmas. But, I promise, no one singing “Santa Baby…” I also promise nothing like those horrible slippers Great-Aunt Whoever used to make. The handmade gift suggestions I will be presenting over the next few Fridays, should be well-received.

Are you doning any handmade gifts this year?
Hopewell's Public Library of Life 
These are so fun! I used to crochet in my teens, but haven’t for years. A piano student gave me this book, which I love, although I can’t make the things — https://www.amazon.com/Knit-Your-Own-Royal-Wedding/dp/1449409245 . At the state fair this year, I saw an entire cast of “Frozen” that was crocheted (or maybe knitted, didn’t look real close). Impressive!
