Projects 276-304: More Randomness

Well, we're into the last week of this crazy project, and I still have an additional 60 projects to complete... in 4 days. So not going to happen - I refuse to substitute quantity for quality!

So, I'm going to keep going and see how long it takes me to finish these projects (hopefully only an additional week or so!) and then on to a new and exciting challenge! More on that later...

For now, here's the bunch I've completed in the last two weeks. There's some real gems here made with new stamp sets, some Christmas gifts and cards, random cards and more Gnomes and Gnome tags! It's kind of been a make-what-you-need quickly kind of month!

Day 6: The Best Laid Plans...

Okay, so that big project that I mentioned earlier? Not going to be finished today - seems I neglected to bring a few thread colours to finish it whilst on vacation this week, so it's going to have to be a project for tomorrow or more likely Sunday.

Instead, I started laying out plans for Boxing Day. Back story required:
Each boxing day about 30 of us friends get together for brunch and stockings. Now when I say stockings, I really should call them gigantic sacks that weigh 20lbs or so after they are filled with all kinds of goodies! The plan is for a homemade Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice/Party, where everyone brings something homemade for everyone else!

My traditional gift is some sort of ornament for the tree (Christmas Tree, Hanukkah Bush, whatever, we're not picky). I've made cross stitch ornaments and clay ornaments, and I usually bake up gigantic batches of ginger bread and short bread to give out as well (I think I would be lynched if I didn't bring the cookies!). So considering I have to make about 30 ornaments for this event, as well as about 10 or so more to cover family members, I have to start early!

So, in lieu of finishing the cross stitch I've been working on for the last month or so, today I designed the ornament that I will be making for Boxing Day this year. It's made out of clay, and in some sort of wintery design, but I'm not telling you what it is exactly, because some of you are getting them!!!

I have a few more ideas percolating for Boxing Day this year - I'm going crafty crazy after all - so stay tuned.
