Plus, not a lot of funds to buy them things so I make things instead.

I've already warned everyone as I am packing and there's not going to be time for dedicated "crafting" but they feel if I make it up North by winter that will be gift enough.<br />I just sent last years preemie hats with my daughter when she was down here. I haven't done it this year yet. Sweaters...that's really nice! <br />My daughter mentioned the non-candy trick or treat items they now have in snack bags which I may do next year. Like fishy crackers and gum and other non-sugary treats. Good idea!<br />I bet you'll have a blast in Vegas at Christmas and I bet it will be extra beautiful too. I've never been but I hear tell it's pretty fabulous.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-15502054451004470232015-11-02T12:52:31.320-06:002015-11-02T12:52:31.320-06:00Wish me luck!

I just get junk mail most of the time. I do much of my "stitching" when I take a break when my legs get tired so it's a slow boat to China with me. The only time I really make any progress is at night when I'm finished for the day and have something mindless I can work on while watching t.v and that's usually crochet.

Mine is solid but the Red Heart pattern is free and shows a striped pattern. The videos really helped on You Tube too. <br />Yes, the kids look forward to Grandma's "care packages" and so do the adults!Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-54918122916812271562015-11-01T15:01:05.563-06:002015-11-01T15:01:05.563-06:00How sweet you are!

Lucky kids and grandkids!<br /><br />We had a bunch of kids this year too, so not much leftover. Of course I do packs of Trident gum, so leftovers are fine with us. Gavin chews gum at work.<br /><br />To answer your question, the baby sweaters are for preemies in a neonatal unit in the UK. My cousin's husband is heading there at the end of November and asked if I could knit some for him to bring along and donate. I haven't managed to turn a profit on my knitting yet :)<br /><br />I think I'm going to skip Christmas crafting altogether! We're planning to just abandon ship and spend the Christmas week in Vegas!Minding My Own Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946752212001968413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-23299058194313227412015-11-01T14:21:31.870-06:002015-11-01T14:21:31.870-06:00Wow, as always you have been so busy.
