Nashville Stitch N Bitch

the chraft list grows

Like a good little girl, I hurried through and got all of my orders finished (pic above coming to a mailbox near you) so that I could get to the really important part of any holiday - cookies. Lots of cookies. My house is so thick with cookies that I could start my own store.

Meanwhile I am green with jealousy and plotting Christmas World Craft Domination next year against the Minions of Overachievers ruling the blogosphere with their ingenuity. On the advent calendar front, stephanie says, "We did matchboxes--I covered them with bits of catalogues cut out and glue-sticked on and made round, numbered labels on my computer. The Husband and I wrapped a little slip of paper w/each day's activity around a small chocolate and McPantses jumps out of bed every morning to unwrap the newest activity. We kept the activities simple and fun, especially during the week. I stole the matchbox idea from loobylu's blog." joy says, "i knit a sock for each day and put a piece of candy in each-ok, so maybe i only finished half of them, you can see them on my blog. my husband made one for me out of one of those pill boxes with all of the little flaps and decorated it with a christmas card-very impressive for a non crafty man." Very impressive indeed! hillary always comes up with something fabulous and this snowflake advent is no different. rowena says, "i'm knitting a hat a day for advent. i post the new hat each day on the blog. i think i'm getting carpel tunnel syndrome from it but that is better than chocolate bloat, i guess." Very adventageous! Get it? ADVENTageous?

Now that's just the tip of the iceberg. Don't miss Little Bird's tree huggers, allsorts' peppermint candy star, crafty mcgee's christmas fairies, red current's peg dolls and clothespin people, craftlog's crochet snowman, crankyisgood's hand knit ornaments, crazy for fiber's fabric tree cards, craftopia's kool gift tags, and my very very very favorite and quote of the week in my house with Molly Chicken's good taste has no place in this house.

Whew.

Eclipse is finished! It's in my dryer as we speak. I only have one. One! ONE! Thing left to make. OK, well maybe two. Really three things that I have to make before Christmas. But compared to the output that just left this house, this will be cake. Make that cookies.

P.S. - Happy birthday Laura!
