Craziness!
I just can’t get myself to commit to the no-handmade gifts thing, even when my plate is more than full and that is the last thing I need to add to the list. I’m just plain crazy, what can I say? But, due to this last minute running around trying to finish present shopping (anyone have a good idea for a 50-something farmer who has gotten into gardening as his only hobby, but for whom you had already given gardening books and such before and for whom you have boughten a couple pairs of good quality socks - any must-haves for young fruit trees? he planted several this last year) and doing some knitting and dyeing and getting some holiday music ready to take on the trip I just haven’t been able to put together much in the way of a blog post.
In my quest to formulate the required wishlist DH’s family I started thinking about the best fibery related goodness I could get this year - both very affordable and less affordable. It is a wishlist, right? You get to dream! I also thought about the best items I already have that I think would be well loved in most fibery homes. So, while I’m gone there will be a few posts with some suggestions for your holiday wishlist. I may also pop in from time to time, but as you recall, when I got back to the farm the Internet access gets spotty. I will be in the Twin Cities metro for my first couple of days of the trip. This is the first time in a long while (and possibly the only one where I was traveling alone) that I have gotten to spend more time than just dining in the metro and I’m looking forward to it. I also have a couple of great hostesses putting me up. I’m so excited!
I’m on the road late tomorrow morning, but I hope you enjoy the guides to fibery-gift buying or wishlist making while I’m gone. I *should* have some meatier content upon my return.
