[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 563417, member: 1233"] I love that Molly gets into the spirit of the season and loves her clothes. Since she seems sad to have them put away, why not make some for other holidays? Red or pink for Valentines, Green for St Pats, pastels for Easter, etc..... Of course wait until after xmas to start them, but I bet she would love them. I also think you could sell them on etsy or ebay or at craft fairs and flea markets. I am a bit surprised this year because husband is into the spirit of making things. He found directions to turn 12 feet of parachute cord into a lanyard or bracelet (macrame project) but it is also easily able to be straightened if you need rope in an emergency. He and the kids are also doing duct tape wallets and some other things. We are all going to town with some paint chips I picked up at Walmart. I am careful to only take what we will use, to not take more than one of a color, and to make sure that no one at the store minds. Jess has some awesome ideas for rice bags, including wrist wrests that you can warm and use while you are on the computer, a model for your neck/shoulder, an eye mask, and even knee, leg and back versions that will have straps to hold them in place. We are going to hit the thrift stores for old backpacks, purses, etc.... to cut up for the straps, in addition to trying some straps that we are sewing. I am starting a year round useful gift for my mom. I am getting material for each holiday, and some solid colors, and sewing them into cloth napkins. Eight napkins for each month, and on months with-o a major holiday she will get the solid colors. I am hoping to have 4-6 mos done by christmas. I am also designing a cross stitch piece iwth the Hail Mary in Gaelic. My inlaws spend time in Ireland every year and this will be a companion to the Lord's Prayer that I designed and stitched a few years ago, also in Gaelic. I LOVE all the ideas you all have!!!!!!!!!!! I think I am looking forward to the sales at Michaels and Hobby Lobby more than the ones at the other stores this year, lol! [/QUOTE]
