5 things for the weekend 22.31

free literary lifestyle event, one for the needleworkers, healthy pasta, #tenonthe10th

This week I brainstormed my handmade gift list with the printable worksheet, and made a list of the supplies I’ll need. Most of the gifts are knit or crochet projects, so I dove into my stash, and found that I have the yarn I need for a majority of my projects! I only need to purchase yarn for one big item, and might get some for another, if my stash yarn doesn’t work out. I’m feeling motivated, so will start working on some smaller items this weekend.

How is your gift planning going? If you want more than just a printed-out sheet, the Minimalist Christmas Planner has everything you need for gift planning and much more.
