It's hard when you have planned out every detail of your home made gifts and then you time runs short (all you us college and school going kids know it especially) I am still working on gifts and I know that many will be late, but I know they still love them no matter how later they are. What late or recent gifts are you working on????

That's exactly what happened to me! I was planning on making everyone some ceramics, but miscalculated the amount of time it takes to make/fire/glaze/glazefire everything, so almost everybody will be getting late Christmas presents.. gonkcrying

HAHAHA .... I am still working on a lap quilt for my daughter ... I THINK I will get it done in time. Then I have this domino necklace for my best friend and HER husband wants to buy it for her, sigh. She picked it out at a bazaar where I was selling the necklaces and he made faces at me so I would know he wanted it. So now I have to make ANOTHER present for her! If he doesn't come and get the necklace soon it's gonna be MY present to her, BWA HA HA. twisted

I'm still making my sister jewelry, i just ran out of time with everything else i was doing. She's really understanding about it though.
And then i'm working on some graphics for a belated digital gift.
Actually... I had a project that ended up getting completely canned. I was going to make a hat for my grandma, but I didn't have time to finish it... and even still, it would have been way too big. No idea what happened there. I knit a hat with similar yarn right before it... same gauge, same number of stitches cast on... and it was so much bigger. o_O I don't get it. And unfortunately, I didn't have enough room to bring all the materials home with me. I was already overpacked to begin with. So much so, that they couldn't get my bag on my plane. o_O It had to leave on a later plane, and I didn't get my bags until the day after I landed.

I'm working on my friend's fingerless gloves. I didn't have any time before, since I had finals before winter break, so I promised to give them to him when the second semester starts. I feel a bit bad though, since he had been asking for them since December. xd I have one glove down, and one to go.

I was stenciling shirts on the 30th to give to my sister and her husband as Christmas gifts.
Luckily, I only saw them on the 31st so it didn't matter anyways. 3nodding

That's not bad, though. There's still plenty of wintertime left.
Last Christmas January, I started a scarf for my fiance... and I didn't end up finishing it until July. sweatdrop
