One Project Down, Another Picked Up

by

I’m finally (mostly) finished with my pumpkin. I would like to add “Happy Halloween” to it but right now I don’t have what I want, and I’m not interested in hand stitching the letters on. I’d like to do them in fabric paint, but that will have to wait. And yes, the eyes are crooked. That’s what happens when I am trying to sew and keep kids out of things at the same time. Oh well, it makes it look “quaint”. That’s what I’m telling myself at least.

Now that I’ve gotten the Halloween flag out of the way I will hopefully have time to finish knitting the hat and scarf I have been making for my youngest son. He has outgrown his winter set from last year so it’s time to get him something new. I decided that instead of buying him one this year I’m knitting him one myself. (You can see the beginnings of it here) In fact my plan this year is to make as many gifts myself as I can instead of buying them new.

Which is the perfect tie-in for something I want to promote. This holiday season TreeHugger is asking people to pledge to give handmade gifts this year. I think it’s a great idea! You can join the pledge by going over to buyhandmade.org and signing up. It’s a great justification for hunting through thrift shops and getting crafty this holiday season. If you are not sure what to make for everyone on your list subscribe for my 30 Gifts in 30 Days all through November.

About Creative Mom Cafe

Creative Mom Cafe is the place to come and try your hand at something you thought you could never do or to get an idea you would never have had on your own. Most of the ideas I bring to 'the Cafe' are simple and for the creativity-challenged but every now and then I will throw in a doozie for those of you who are waiting for it. Every month will have a theme and all ideas that month will tie in to that theme. It may be fun recipes for kids, a scrapbooking idea, an organizational tip or anything else that is in my head that month. I invite you to send your photos of projects you have done and at the end of the month I will highlight one or two "fan" projects! Thanks, stop in the Cafe as often as you can!
