Introducing 12 Days of Holiday Crafts!

Every year I try to make many of the gifts I give for Christmas. Some years, I am better at accomplishing this goal than others, and I will admit that I am behind this year. Just a few weeks until Christmas and my knitting basket includes two scarves and several smaller items waiting to be completed. (There is a good chance those scarves are going to have to wait for next year—sigh). I also have a gaggle of other gifts I plan on finishing and wrapping for friends and family.

In order to encourage myself (and hopefully you, too!) to create more and shop a bit less, I have decided to post 12 Days of Holiday Crafts, a project inspired by Megan Cooley’s posts on Dwell Well last year (check the blog archives for last year’s projects). Between Dec. 6 and Dec. 20, I will post photos and instructions for twelve craft projects. I hope you try making a few and follow along.

I think I am up for the challenge! Now, who’s with me?
