Handmade Holidays

With Friday being the official start of the holiday shopping season, I have been thinking a lot about what I actually give.  I think it's beginning to be more important to me to give meaningful gifts,  and not just gifts for gifts sake.  This year I am knitting some gifts, and actually got a head start, so I hope to have all my intended projects done this year.  What I can't/don't make, I will try to buy handmade.  Handmade truly is the best, and it's even better if you buy it directly from the artist.  My two big venues for buying handmade are Etsy.com (of course) and the No Coast Craft-O-Rama, which is happening next weekend at the Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis. 

I won't be blogging about my holiday gifts because all recipients read this here blog, but you can follow along with me on Ravelry if you have an account...I am FuzzyNoodleKnits  (I don't have anything up just yet...but hope to soon.  I turned in my big architectural drawing in last night, so I have some free time again to update things).

Pardon the Interuption

Pardon me while I break into this here blog silence.  I've been a *bit* busy over the last couple of weeks...I have a project for my drawing class that is sucking the life force out of me, leaving little time for other interests, like meals and a social life.  On the upside, the DH and I bought a new car a few weeks ago, and it has arrived!  We will be picking it up tonight...I am very, very excited.   We got a sweet little 2008 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback ("Five Door").  The DH will probably be the primary driver, which means I get our Honda Pilot, which I adore....a total win-win.   

So, I'll be back once I get my like back from my class.  Until then, you can follow me on Twitter (also on the right hand column) or spend some time looking at this lovely thing:
