Desprate for Gift Ideas

I know, I know...Christmas is still three months away.  Desperate for gift ideas this soon?  YES!  I've found that coming up with the spare quiet time to think, the spare time to shop, and the spare time to make/craft is limited now that I am keeping track of a little baby.  :)

Organization is key.  Thoughtful gifts are important.  Budget is very, very limited.  Sooooo, this is why I feel like I should already have a plan and feel anxious that I don't already have the perfect homemade gift ideas ready to work on. 

If you have any great ideas send them my way.
I have a feeling I'm not the only one out there who has this on her mind!

Baby Bonnet

After much help from a good friend here in Boston (thanks Ginny), I finally have a finished product and have learned some knitting basics. I'm so happy to be learning how to knit!


(The loose ends are now finished off, but this is the picture I took when the real work was complete.)

Subversive Sugar Cookie Decorating

I decorated cookies with a couple of my girlfriends here in Boston the other day and had so much fun. Matt enjoyed eating my masterpieces. Unfortunately I only took a couple pictures so here are just a few of my subversive holiday cookies.

Made

I made an ironing board cover for my apartment's built in board. The old cover looked like it was 30 or 40 years old. Yuck! This is quite an improvement.
