"The Littles" like a story book made just for them. Maybe next year you could write a book just for them. They will grow up way to fast but their Mom's will put those blankets away after they are used for years. The Littles will be able to pass those blankets to their littles and on and on. What a gift, what a joy!!

The stores were very busy, the streets full of cars, and I don't like crowds at all. Covid-19 or not.<br /><br />Hope your items show up soon.

It's been a few years since I've made any. <br /><br />My holiday prep is also just about done. I'll finish wrapping gifts tonight (hopefully); there aren't as many as in years past, but I consider that a GOOD thing. I'll bake pie and rolls Christmas Eve morning, but otherwise all food for the feast is on hand. Cookies went out the door to all of our nearest neighbors over the weekend. If they're in the house, I eat them! LOL! One neighbor brought us homemade flan. <br /><br />The biggest frugal plus this year is my hubby sold his 8 yr. old car yesterday for cash! Woo-hoo! With his retirement at hand and our out-of-state move planned for spring, it just made sense to sell it before registration renewal (steep in CA) was due. <br /><br />Have a blessed rest of your week.

So I guess I did a small amount of machine 'quilting'. LOL! <br />Glen's aunt (Pics and Pieces blog) quilts and she is so talented. She got it from her Mom for sure.

I think when someone loves/cares about someone enough to handcraft something for them, it is mighty special!!<br />I made snack mix also. Always a hit and makes lots to share and serve. I really like that. I also give jams as gifts. They all know it is an annual thing and seem to look forward to it. This year it was a jar of jam, homemade pancake mix and a bottle of pancake syrup. I called it their breakfast bag.<br />Your cookies really look so good! <br />Linda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280910391312645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-59815987409245504622021-12-21T10:11:51.783-05:002021-12-21T10:11:51.783-05:00Good morning, You blankies are pretty special!

I wish I had such talent. I can't sew a thing but replacing a button. I really want to learn to crochet and have been searching for a local place to take lessons. I learned a small amount when I was a teen but that was 40 plus some years ago. I think it would be a relaxing and useful hobby. Happy Holidays!!Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678570688924756944noreply@blogger.com
