A Christmas Post

My Christmas has had some ups and downs, it has been mostly good. So let's review my list of what to do for Christmas
  1. Captain America's Shield (Pattern modified with a star pattern from a previous post)
  2. Scarf for cousin (not going to say what pattern just in case she looks at this)
  3. Secret project for an Amazing Person (current pattern no long found online)
  4. project based on #3 for a different person
  5. Sock Monkey Puppets (if I can get to it) for nieces or nephews
  6. UFO for someone (This might take too much time, but it will get finished)
#1 and #2 are done, My Husband loves his Captain America's Shield. I have yet to see the reaction from 32 on the list and I almost have #3 done. #4-6 have been scratched off the list for lack of time.

Now for my other list
  1. Icy Snowflake Throw
  2. Kaleidoscope Throw    I've been working on this one, I've got 22 parts completed through row 5, and several more have the first two rows
  3. Stone Mountain Throw
  4. Adult's Royal Crown
  5. Minion Top hat made with help from Halloween Top Hat pattern and measurements
  6. That UFO(Unfinished Object) from my top list, Yay isn't that wonderful?
Has your Christmas been a good one, or has it been despicable?
What projects do you plan on doing in the New Year?

Six Projects for Christmas

I have a list of things for people in my life that I have the goal of getting done for Christmas, which I realize is only 3 weeks away. I also have an additional week and a half for when some of these need to be done by for a Family Christmas Gathering.

My list so far is looking like this:
  1. Captain America's Shield (Pattern modified with a star pattern from a previous post)
  2. Scarf for cousin (not going to say what pattern just in case she looks at this)
  3. Secret project for an Amazing Person (current pattern no long found online)
  4. project based on #3 for a different person
  5. Sock Monkey Puppets (if I can get to it) for nieces or nephews
  6. UFO for someone (This might take too much time, but it will get finished)
As for other projects that I want to do I should make sure that I share that list too:
  1. Icy Snowflake Throw
  2. Kaleidoscope Throw
  3. Stone Mountain Throw
  4. Adult's Royal Crown
  5. Minion Top hat made with help from Halloween Top Hat pattern and measurements
And if all that isn't enough I think I need to not be distracted by any other patterns, and my Husband said that he thinks I should just do a lot of Minion Hats for everyone and call it good, since he obviously hasn't seen this list. It might shock him that I do think that just doing Minion Hats would be easier, but I want to do something else for a while, and not just taunt myself by having all the yarn I should need for the other projects #1&2 and maybe #3 too. Oh let's just be honest, On my non Christmas list I should have the yarn for all of it unless I run out of yellow yarn for #5.

How is your Christmas to-Do list looking? Is it anywhere as bad as mine?
