My Christmas 2013 sewing plans were derailed by some foot surgery that took longer to recover than I expected, so I am finishing up two gifts, which I AM going to finish up by 2/1! Then I want to start on the small gifts I at least put on a list to make: lined bread cloths, fabric ornaments, pillowcases and some placemats. Lynnie, you're so wise to start now, IMO, so you can enjoy the process without the stress!
