T'was the month before Christmas, I'm all in a tizzy
I've things to do! I MUST get busy
Some gifts are made, wrapped and ready to go
But others are not....I've been moving too slow!
The jars for the bath salts came in awhile back
They really are perfect, the salts they just lack
But those I will make some evening real soon
They smell so lovely, they'll make you swoon.
The pjs are cut out, some aprons are too
The yarn that I ordered came in... WOO HOO!
Its GORGEOUS I tell you, it really should be
It cost me a fortune
I'll use it for who?
.....NOT ME!
Well, just to be honest, now, this is the truth,
I bought DOUBLE the yarn for me
....AND you-hoo.
Now, don't turn your nose up, cause you'd do it too
The things she likes, well, I like too!
It will be cozy, it will be warm
It will scream "FASHION, FUNCTION and FORM!"
The others will also like what they get
But SHE will squeal, (on that, I'll bet!)
She says things like 'sweet-ums' and 'baby'
And 'muffins of love' (I swear, she's not crazy)
The things she says, they crack me up....
And she says them all to her horses and pup!
Now, off to my craft room, I'll be sewing soon
Enough with this chit chat.
I've THINGS TO DO!

Hi Valerie, I am in exactly the same position!!!...Lots to sewing, crafting & more sewing!!!...Just the way it should be!!...A very "homemade" Christmas! :)....Wishing you a lovely weekend!...Heidi XO
I keep fluctuating between ambitious gift-making plans and just knocking out a few things for the kids. I always seem to chicken out of giving handmade gifts...
I'm getting tired for you just thinking of it all! I hope you get it all done in time for the holidays. I can't wait to see what you're creating.
yes, what you said
Valerie you said it so well..Perfectly for sure..Tis how we all feel!Wishing all the bestest to getting all our creating finished and done just for Christmas!

What a wonderful poem -- speaks volumes about my own life right now. I swear, if I get everything done I want or need to, I'll be a blubbering blob in the corner. I always bite off so much more than I can chew -- or even worse, when I get done with something then it's not what I envisioned. Internet shopping and gift cards look better all the time. :)
Val,
I LOVE your poem!! You are so talented!
It so perfect for the way we all are beginning to feel - what that said, I need to get busy myself :)
Happy gift making!
Val--have an award for you--come by and pick it up!
Lot's too do and little time to do it in..
I'm clapping my hands with glee, your poetry is great. Goodness, I'd better get busy making gifts.

We all feel that way or I do and that is why I am up at almost midnight. For lil d, don't chicken out, people really do like handmade gifts.
