I have make tons of Christmas socks, some made for certain people, and as I see them each year, I am really proud of them. Made a whole bunch of stuff out of redskin foot ball material then had to change over to the titans-- quillows, chrismas socks. It is fun doing christmas stockings, just a plain little boot or high botten shoe, a shoe for a pirate man and lady. I just got my pen and paper out and started drawing different types. Table runners, place matts and figure something for the BBQ too. A fishing plack. Have fun

They do make nice gifts, especially if you make them out of muslin (I use a double layer) and make a nice removable cover, sham style, that can be removed and washed when/if necessary. I put lavender in with the rice, as long as I know the recipient isn't allergic.

Just thought of another one. How about a mason jar filled with dry ingredients to make brownies or cookies and then include a potholder; or an egg turner with a potholder. I'm thinking my gift list now. LOL

I have made a lot of hot cup sleeves -- there's tons of patterns out there. Why not one or two or those and a Tim Horton's gift card to make up the difference? Maybe include a couple of quilted book marks and a juicy paperback novel?

I might not use it for this gift ... though would be a great combo with mug rugs.
And for myself ... always feel like my fingers are getting scorched on the Starbucks cups! :)
