I thought I could settle into fall a little bit longer. It is, by far, my most favorite season. Yet, a small home improvement necessitated a trip to Lowe's whereupon I was greeted by rows of shiny plastic trees and waving Santas. This jarred me back to reality and the crafter/creator in me was suddenly overcome: it's almost Christmas! While fall is my favorite season, it is definitely Christmas that holds my holiday heart. Just last night Nate and I were in the car and he asked if I could find Christmas carols on the radio and I was sad to not have my ipod with me to fulfill the request.
Yet, there's something within in me: tradition? stubbornness? naivete? that's refuses to begin true Christmas crafting until after Halloween. (As full disclosure: I was able to sneak in making one present while spending hours on airplanes this month.) And, inevitably, there will be a flurry of making and ripping out and joyous creation during the next few months. And I just can't wait. In the meantime, I will start allowing myself to peruse favorite crafting sites/ravelry/etc to begin my gifting lists.
Here are my beginnings of inspiration...
