Upcoming Holiday Plans

I have a pretty good idea that most of my family doesn't really pay any attention whatsoever to any of my blogs, and that's honestly fine with me since it allows me the opportunity to write posts they probably ought not see. Nothing incriminating, of course, just not necessarily required to be completely known. In this instance, I'm going to talk about what items I have planned to give out this next winter holiday. Many are known by some, but not all, and that's usually the way I like it.

Now, last winter I purchased 2 large items, 1 for each of my youngest children. Little kids are generally so easy to please! I found a M&D dollhouse, complete with furniture, for my preschooler, who will be just barely old enough for it. Then I picked up a super-nice wagon for my toddler. This is one that has pneumatic wheels, wooden sides, and a domed cover over the top! Then I became stumped for my elder girls.

I'll be making several home-made gifts for the family too. Hats and scarves and mittens. Also slippers/socks and who knows what else. For my mother I was thinking of making a hands-free shoulder wrap or a shawl. For my spouse... I have no idea!! I also want to make some large crochet 'socks' to be used as stockings. I'm honestly not sure what else I'll put on the docket. Extended family will be receiving a dried goodies basket this year: puff-mallows (dried marshmallows), dried fruits, and maybe some veggie chips. Not much, but everything flavored with love.
