cozy cozy

It’s a cozy cozy christmas.ย  I didn’t mean for it to happen, but it turns out my christmas gifts have a theme this year. I guess we all have too much stuff, so now we need stuff to put our stuff in.

Crayon cozies:

A knitting needle cozy:

and a tissue cozyย  (that is going to my nana who is 104!)

All the patterns were from online tutorials (this christmas season I am thankful for the internet). They can be found here, here, and here respectively.ย  I can see the end of my christmas list now and I am very excited.ย  I really didn’t know what I was getting into with the whole handmade pledge thing.ย  Now that I think about it I haven’t bought anything–except for some thread and notions and a couple “just in case I forgot someone gift.”ย  But somehow the money still gets spent: pounds and pounds of butter for cookies, wrapping paper, tape, more tape, shipping.ย  It was a lot of time spent sewing, which I couldn’t have done without a very supportive husband to watch the babies (and vacuum!), but I am pretty satisfied with myself.ย  Let’s just hope the recipients like them too.
