Check out my friend Chris' blog about getting ready for the upcoming holidays.

I know..it's only August but ya know..she has a point...Christmas is just around the corner and if you want to give a homemade gift; you have to plan ahead.   You can't just wake up around Thanksgiving and decide to make something for the people in your life.  So...what should I make for those I love?  I don't really know how to make much of anything.  I've been playing with my sewing machine making some baby gifts; but none of my friends or family member have babies.  I have been trying to crochet, but that hasn't been going very well.  Maybe a batch of cookies...I can bake pretty ok, nothing gourmet, but I haven't killed anybody yet.
