What's up next?

Well, RE's birthday, that's what.

And what's on the list for the little monkey?

A new mei tai (her old one is awfully small)
A wee wonderfuls doll
A black apple inspired doll
A table fort
Some doll clothes

And as for the rest of my list?

A blanket for Abby
Napkins for the S family
Hemming sleeves on an old shrunken sweater for RE
Gabe's bday present, just a little late

Oh, and RE's birthday party, which will be rather low key this year. At least, the Seattle one will be. The Cali party will no doubt be nutty.

I'm such a list maker...

I have a huge list of handmade pressies for the holidays this year, as I am primarily planning to do a handmade holiday.

I can't, of course, really blog a whole lot about it until after the holidays, as I expect that, on occasion, my friend's read this blog. But I will tell what I'm making for the kids...they can't read yet.

Several of the boys will be getting this DARLING go-fish set.

Most of the girls will be getting either Black Apple dolls or Wee Wonderfuls dolls.

RE and a few of the other kids may also get a set of wooden Little People.

These coffee cozies are on the list as well as some hand dyed, hand painted scarves (these are all me, and I'll post a tute when I get the fabric).

Plus, I want to make RE another tutu, more of a skirt type one that she can wear when she feels like it, and with some regularity. I've also got plans for a small dollhouse for her, plus, of course, people to go in it. I bought her a big one, but had already bought this smaller thing, and so her dolls will just have a casita as well. For her birthday, I'm making her a playhouse table tent out of a great bedspread I found at Target.

Of course, I've still got the curtains, pillows and paint trim to finish, plus, you know, raise a kid, run a household, keep a small business afloat, teach childbirth ed, and watch a few other kids.

It's no wonder I make all these lists.

A list...

I'm a list maker. So, here is my list of crafts to make and do, so that I can be held accountable for them. If you don't see updates sooner or later on these crafts, please send a comment, again, so I can be held accountable!
