One big reason we started Christmased.com a full three months before Christmas is that we’re crafters, and we know it’s time to start working on our projects now if we have any hope of finishing by December 25 (or December 24, for those of us who celebrate Scandinavian-style by opening gifts on Christmas Eve).
If you’re planning to make gifts by hand, what’s your MO? Do you make a list of everything you need to make, then assess realistically and starts ASAP? Do you make a project as it occurs to you, and not plan anything more than you have free time to make? Do you plan too many projects and then stay up all night December 22, 23, and 24 desperately trying to finish them?
Do you stick with crafts you already know? Or do you use the gift-giving season as an excuse to learn new things?
What media do you work in? Knitting, crocheting, stamping, decoupage, woodworking, jewelry-making, papier mache, quilting, sewing, hot-gluing, candle-making? Something we haven’t even heard of?
Tell us what you’re planning to do, and how you do it. The feedback we get will help determine what craft-related posts to put up in the next few weeks, so let us know what you need.
