This year, I finally decided to just have low expectations of myself.
So, I'm technically done- all the gifts are wrapped, the stockings are stuffed- but, if I happen to have some time in the garage this weekend, there may be another gift or two to wrap.
Wow. I am jealous! I am not looking forward to tackling the pile in the basement! My middle dd's birthday is the day after Christmas and I also have a doll house tat needs to be put together also! The reviews say to put aside at least two hours for it

I have made a lot less than usual. I was looking at doing this hat, scrapped the idea, but then my niece saw the picture I had emailed to my SIL to ask if she'd like it, and got all excited that she wanted it so now I kinda have to make this one lol

Yea, I've got one more hat I'd like to knit for my dad. I'm almost done with a pair of slippers for my friend's DD, and almost done with 5 little monkey finger puppets for DS. It's doable, but I need to buckle down and finish them. Christmas is soon!
Your list sounds like it might give you a nervous breakdown. Go easy on yourself.

I have 1/2 an afghan to finish, but my SIL knows her present won't be done by Christmas! I will take a picture and email it to her and then mail the blanket whenever it gets done.
Otherwise, I'm waiting for the conductive thread I ordered to get here so I can finish the gloves I made for my mom (the knitting is done, but I want to make them touch-screen friendly!).
But I also have 3 "toy-blankets" to finish (like this one) and one baby blanket for February! It's never ending!

I'm glad to read I'm not the only one who's working down to the wire! I have one necklace done, one to do and the rosary I was making for my BF's mom will not be finished in time. Didn't start it soon enough and the rose petal batch is just taking too long to dry.
BTW anyone around here do wirework or beadwork jewelry?

I have 6 pairs of pj pants to hem and put in waistbands, then 11 stockings to stitch the linings to the outers and topstitch, and finally two rice bag things to stitch up really quickly. I'm running out of time!

My horse hat, after some work last night, is all done except for adding the mane! I will get that done tonight and BAM all the things I feel I'm 'required' to have done are done I'll share a picture when its completed!
