Christmas 2016 is moving right along!!

I can now report that 90% of my christmas 2016 is complete!   YES!!!!!    everything that I need to take back to PA with me over thanksgiving is done.............   one more package coming in the mail for the hubster and he is done........... just a few trinkets to make for work... mugrugs and such.... and a couple of little giftie trinkets.......... that won't be needed til december!!

I've had a good couple weeks............   (beaming proudly)   Pics on flickr..........

I've added another goal to my list........ for the sewing pit....  I have massive amounts of scraps....... to me scraps are anything less than 1/2 a fat quarter..........   i'm going to go thru them all and the largers scraps will go on a pile to be used for things like change purses, name tags, scrappy table runners etc....  smaller scraps will be cut into 3 3/4" squares and 2 1/2" squares for the two scrappy quilts i'm planning............  anything less than 2 1/2" will go in a large bag and  given to someone who does crumb quilts........
I'm pretty sure someone at my guild will give them a good home....   I also have a large pile of selvedges too........... need to decide on keeping or giving those too.......

I started knitting something different.......... yoga socks... they don't have toes and they don't have a heel  :-)     easy peasy to make!
one sock is almost done and the next one will go quickly......  this is a gift for a friend............   I also finished up a pair of fingerless mitts for another friend gift.......  just need to add the buttons to it to bling it up a bit...........

So all in all....things are moving right along!

Hope your Christmas season is going well too!!
