Good intentions

This year I'm really gonna do it. I'm going to make more gifts. 

Commercialism deluge and spending overload are the main impetuses for this declaration. Throw in a desire to live greener, too.

I'm looking to make IT, the real gift. The biggie. And it needs to be non-lame. 

Some people think I can't handle it--and for good reason.

The Pistachio-Cranberry Wreath Ornament Disaster of 2012 is still fresh in the minds of many.



So, what to make? 

Knitted or crocheted blankets come to mind. Everyone uses blankets.

Arm knitting? This project seems my speed.

A lesson in how to use tools from our garage is necessary for this one; but what an impression this huge set of dice would make!

I know one thing for certain: pistachio shells are not the answer!

Are you also dedicated to making gifts this year?
