Ercol Bar Stool
Bourbon Balls!
I am making pillows, a scarf, a hat, several stationary sets, an apron, two necklaces, and insulated pajamas. Yikes! If there's time, I also hope to make some candies for stocking stuffers...
Knitted hats for the little neices and nephews. Mosaics for some friends. Maybe a foldable indoor tent hideaway spot for little ones if i have time. And lastly....the game corn hole for my husband.

I just bought a Singer so I hope to learn to sew nice clothng, scarves and saches for the holiday.
Jelly and candied pecans. Every year. People love it!
Quote jar, Adjective box, Salted Caramels, handmade journal with quotes along the edges, and Puppets.
I am just learning to knit, and I hope to make some friends some scarves!
In the words of teh lolcats - FUD. You can never go wrong. Unless there are allergies involved.
Also, knitted wool slippers are nice because you don't expect people to wear them outside in public, and therefore they might actually get used. Beware people who always have hot feet, though. They will never wear them.
Jam, preserves and custom cookbooks!

I'm making lavender hand salve (just beeswax, almond oil, and lavender essential oil in a weck jar) and lavender room spray (water, a little vodka, essential oil in a spray bottle), knitted socks, and homemade liqueurs and bitters.
i have lots of knitted neckwarmers with big buttons to close them, as well as circular scarves...knitting away!
