Christmas Crafting

Christmas night was the first time in two weeks that I felt I could actually breathe. I put so much pressure on myself this year to make all of our Christmas gifts that the moments leading up to our big day felt a bit harried. I rarely got out of sweat pants, did much less cooking than normal and was more irritable than usual. This must be avoided next year. Must start crafting earlier than November.

I did get some nice time on the couch nursing or snuggling a sweet, sweet, smelly like milk baby who thinks knitting needles are pretty fun to play with.

So now that everything has been knitted, or sewed, or embroidered, I can move on to birthday presents (N's in January and H's in February). This year, I think I will save myself the pressure of hand-making their presents and instead support others that do. Thinking of this for N and this for H.
