handmade holiday 2010

it feels a little odd to be thinking about holidays during the summer but my avoidance of that has led to my past stress-filled holidays. so, i'm following the example of these cool crafters and starting on some handmade heartfelt holiday gifts. i feel so giddy! i've never started planning this early!
i'll be making some recycled sweater hats and gloves out of a bunch of wool items i've been collecting. i'm also making some small waldorf-type dolls. pics will be posted as things progress. i hope i can share a few fun projects with everyone, including some original amigurumi patterns!
