    Before Thanksgiving I want to have my pinecone ornaments done, Christmas stockings done, an afghan for my baby niece, three fleece blankets for the kids, possibly some more beaded ornaments and some other stuff.

    MB, What kind of pine cone ornaments do you make? I noticed this morning that my two big white pines have dropped pine cones all over the ground around them. Average size is 4- 5 inches long by 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
    My projects this winter is first the baby blanket, then the baby bunting (fleece), then I've got 4 dresses, 2 aprons, a jumper and shirt, and many hats to knit on the looms.

    If I get a third of these things done I will be happy.

    wool diaper covers for the little one due in January

    two fleece blankets for the girls.

    a basket of tiny kittens for the girls for Christmas http://dollmaker.nunodoll.com/cat/terrycat.html
    I want to make a mother cat and three or four kittens for each of them. I doubt that I will use just terry cloth though. I have some nice cordouroy, suede cloth and velvet scraps that would be good for these.

    finish crocheting the doll blankets for the girls and make their babies some cloth diapers.

    Make some small cloth grocery bags for the girls to use in their "store".

    I have leggings made from sweaters to make for the girls soon. It is getting cold at night and chilly during the day.

    Pjs for Christmas for them and pj pants for dh.

    kitchen towels from some great linen that I want to put in Christmas baskets.

    I need to get a big batch of soap made to go with the Christmas baskets. I am making an orange and spice scented soap.

    I need a new maternity church outfit. So that needs to be done in the next couple of weeks. I have the patterns and fabric. I just need to sew.

    I am sure that there are others, but those are the ones I know of right now.

    At least mine are much simpler and smaller than the beautiful quilts that others are making. I still have not finished one yet. I have a couple started, but not finished.

    Gardengal and Shewoff- It's something new I am going to try based on memory of a school project from my school days. When I get one done I will post it.

    Oh yeah, I also have four afghans I working on for having in the livingroom. The fleece blankets for the kids are more for them to use as Jedi capes so they will no longer use the blankets from their bedroom for that. Also I'm making many many crocheted slipper socks, can never have too many.

    I have 2 more weeks of farmer's markets, then I'm knitting hats for a craft bazaare in November, then I have to start the knitted vest for my mom, and felted purses for my DS and SIL.

    After Christmas, I will have curtains to make for my Living Room and Dining room...more winter skirts, and then start on projects for next year's farmer's markets.

    It never ends....does it?
