Re: Holiday progess update...post yours!
I feel pretty good. Shopping is done except for a couple of GCs that I'll wait to get until it's a little closer. I got 3 double batches of cookies baked (molasses, choc chip, and M & M) yesterday. Took the boys pictures for our card and got that ordered, along with 3 photo ornaments. House got decorated Friday and Saturday (inside and out...although we keep it simple). I got a photo present framed for my mom.
Next on my list I think is to continue with the cookies this week and maybe try to make a dent in some wrapping. We also have family pictures on Tuesday so hopefully that goes well...either way it's another check off the list!

I made one zippered pouch (pictured in another post) and am halfway done with 40 magnets. This afternoon I'm going to start on MIL's scarf (b'day is the 17th). During the week, I'll continue with the pendants and hopefully I'll have my sewing machine back by next weekend so I can finish the zippered pouches.
DH is partway through making paper airplane shooters (don't ask!!).
Posts on cloth trainers/PLing
I finished sewing my oldest nieces purse and my youngest nieces headbands. We also have the tree all decorated and our stockings made and hung! And I finished beading my best friends cuff bracelet!
I am still working on DS stocking
Paracord bracelets are done
making marmelade this week
Making bibs/ burpcloths this week
Making Toddler pillow cases this week
I put up a few decorations. The house is super awesome clean. That's all.
I'm just getting to be so exhausted so quickly. Plus the doctor thinks this little guy might come early, if we have a christmas baby I don't want to be trying to clean up christmas and take care of a newborn.
I think I'm going to skip Christmas this year. Someone tell me I'm not a grinch.
I did a big batch of marmalade on Friday - 12 to 15 jars, I think.
Fair amount of progress on DH's quilt (as posted below) - I met my goals for the weekend for his project anyway.
Working on sewing together napkins - almost done with first of three sets. Off to work on more now.
Still have LOTS left to do. If I finish more/most of the napkins today I will have met all my goals for the weekend...
(Oh, we've had our tree up and decorated since last weekend - still have to do outside).
Decorated our tree and mantle. I think that's all the decorating I'm going to do this year.
Made MAJOR progress on DD's felt playhouse this weekend. She needs a door, a curtain, and some velcro on the removable pieces and then I can start sewing the walls together.
I finished shopping for DD. The only thing I had left was some stocking stuffers.
Still need to finish DD's playhouse, bake something for the neighbors, take Christmas photos, and send out Christmas cards.
i uh....ate some cookies my grandma sent us from Figi's (mmm preservatives & red #40)
I did clean the fridge! it's amazing and almost empty now. I also got some earrings made while Max was asleep this afternoon. My goal before the end of the day is at least to have the spot clear where I think I am going to put the xmas tree. I really wanted to have it up yesterday and that didn't happen, mostly because MIL worked until 9pm and she's got the key to where my tree is stored (yes, fake, easier with idiot animals, i already defended it last year) so I gave up and worked on other stuff.
