Hey girls, got the holiday blues and no projects on the go now.

What can I make, any ideas because I am going mental with boredom.

Love Sues

When I don’t know what to do next I always do a wee hat for my shoeboxes and it gets me over that couple of days and I just relax then something normally comes to me that I fancy or I knitt a toy for the dog and they are always grateful even if sometimes it’ a bit distorted.

Sorry if I am being thick Anne (you’ll get used to me don’t fret!) but what the heck are hats for shoeboxes???

Hi Leigh...Anne fills shoe boxes with little essentials and knits little hats and things for babies and the shoe boxes go off to Romania to the orphanages.  Anne has visited Bosnia (and maybe other countries I am not sure) and spent time with the children in the orphanages there....so she keeps her sho boxes on the go all the time.  Take a look at her Flickr pics and you will see her with the kids.

Scarves are always a good filler between projects.  Hate to mention the C-word but you can’t start too early and they make excellent presents!

I cant shop early, I love the buzz around at Christmas, the lights, the shops being busy, and can only do the shopping maybe a week or two beforehand, its all part of the fun!
