Christmas crafts

Ok, so i remember a time when "home-made" meant lame to me.  i remember an episode of Friends in which Chandler and Monica are supposed to make each other Valentine's Day gifts and neither of them can come up with anything.  And now i look back and go, huh?


Give me some material and i will whip something up.  i love to embroider, sew, crochet, and quilt.  i like making jewelry.  i like to upcycle clothes.  i like working in collage. 

This year i wanted to do a completely handmade Christmas.  i wanted to try out some new jewelry making for my sister, some scarves or little bags, soaps, homemade pretzels and candles and embroidered handkerchiefs... but i didn't really think of the fact that i now live in the South and have hardly noticed Winter coming on.  Needless to say, the idea got away from me. Maybe next year?
