Howdy!
SHE said it, not I!!! I'm in the clear. I knew the date, but *I* wasn't going to say it this time. Taria did it, Taria did it!! Yeah, just 3 months away. How are those Christmas quilts in the making? You got one, Taria? Mine was finished years ago. g Ragmop/Sandy--pointing fingers at Taria ;-D "Taria" wrote in message ...

I used to spend every waking minute rushing to get Christmas gifts made.
Then DH gently reminded me that I wasn't spending any time with the family, and we were missing out on doing fun stuff. I realized that was more important, and really scaled back on making gifts. I still make some, but only what I really really want to, not out of obligation. We have a much more relaxed and fun season, going out to see the lights, making cookies, cranking up the holiday tunes and romping round the house, decorating! Maybe this year we'll make some cards - Spike and Giles are old enough to help with that. That said, I am planning to do some of those easy coasters this year!

Not everyone on your list of beloved relatives expect you to wear yourself down to nothing for a quilty gift. How about this? You have an Uncle you adore who appreciates good wine. Why not make him a wine tote and a simple wine bottle charm, presented to him with a decent bottle of wine inside? Your MIL isnt big into quilts but loves table runners that are seasonal. How bout create a simple one for an occasion she might not have thought of...say...talk like a pirate day. Ok, you promised the younger members of your family quilts. No getting out of it. Make the tops and promise the quilting will be done by their next birthday. But.. the most important part is.. dont panic! No one will love you less if your gift is late, or just in the planning stage. Ok, now get to work!

I have a real nice large wall quilt and a mess of small Christmas
wall hangings. I'm like Wendy myself. I cut way back on the presents years ago. I think of Sandy on the 25th of most months though. VBG Taria Ellison wrote: Howdy! SHE said it, not I!!!

Just a question for the masses:
Does anybody else here "re-gift" items that they got but have no use or desire for?? DH was given a jacket that he would never wear, but that his father would, so that is our Christmas gift to him. Our niece is old enough for porcelain dolls, so she is getting the very first one that I was given (not to worry, there are plenty for Rebekah to have when she is old enough)........ I don't think I relaly have any Christmas presents to *make* except for pajama bottoms for DH that match the pajamas that i just made for DS, but that will only take about an hour or so to do.
