Wednesday Round Up 12/10/2014 ~ Last Minute Gifts

Around this time of year I hit panic. I KNOW I forgot someone. I always do. No matter how much I try, how much I organize, how much I love them, I always forget someone. Or, I just get so busy I suddenly realize there is not enough time to get to everyone! So, just in case I am not alone in this malfunction, I have collected some patterns that can be used to make some fabulous last minute gifts.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.

Thankful

We spent the holiday weekend with my family in Beverly, MA. My mother is the oldest of 11 kids. Her parents and about half her siblings and their families live in the Beverly area. It is really the only home that has been constant through my life. There have been other places that have felt like home, but when you live in 7 different states and over a dozen different cities in the first 30 years of your life, “home” isn’t as permanent to you as it is to most. I am trying to change that. But, as I said, Beverly is the one place that has been home to me for my whole life. Every time we drive in, I feel a wave of calm and peace.

We arrived Wednesday night and checked into our hotel. Doug and the girls gave the beds a check.

Thursday we had a small Thanksgiving with my Grandparents. We had a large Thanksgiving II planned for Saturday, so the small one on Thursday was nice. Later my Uncle Mike (also my Godfather) my Aunt Nancy (also my Godmother) and my Uncle Gary and his family all came over to visit.
