christmas specials

christmas is round the corner again! i've been busy planning and making gifts for people. Over this weekend i completed 4 bags, using the paper pattern courtesy of Burdastyle.com

i also found a finger knitting video on the internet that teaches you how to knit a scarf needle-free! so i went out today and bought myself a packet of yarn to get started. i can't find the url on my browser's history anymore, but if you want to try, just google finger knitting and there are so many sites that will show you how. it's a really fun no-brainer activity to keep your fingers busy, other than twiddling thumbs. 

and then i also found a shop on ruijin road that sells some cheap fabric with awesome prints. i bought a flannel one with the Colts prints to make some flannel PJs for Justin (eventually, when i figure out how) and bought some candy print cotton fabric to maybe make bags/pillow cases or whatever for myself. it's nice to collect fabric, especially when they're so cheap.

so here, for starters are some gifts already made

where's wally?
haha no, i did not make a shirt, tho i'd probably know how to do it now. it was actually a bag-in-the-making...
ta-daa!
