progress report on latest to-do list

1) haven't started stockings
2) big presents for kids done online - a couple of shared things, so need to find individual stuff, too. No one else bought for.
3) wedding quilt? Ah. Not yet.
4) clean up sewing area. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
5)Plugged in outside lights. Didn't get or hang wreath. Am thinking ribbons instead.
6) Made gingerbread men (and other shapes of gingerbread) for cookie exchange. Got loads of yummy stuff in return. Trying to go easy on sugar, since it gives me a headache, I certainly don't need the calories, and it activates my heartburn.

BUT I did just make PJ pants for the boys. Trying to decide if I should make shirts for both or only for DS1. DS2 sleeps with just a pull-up thingy most of the time and says the shirts twist around him or he's too hot or they make him choke and he can't sleep. Maybe I'll make him a regular shirt that sort of matches and he can wear it during the day if he'd rather. Then again, DS1 usually sleeps in his clothes...

SOOOOO. New to-do list:
1) CLEAN UP SEWING AREA
2) stockings
3) PJ shirts
4) presents for rest of family
5) baby clothes and diapers. Make and/or buy. Just bought a bunch of super cute stuff from an online retailer that's going out of business. I have quilted fabric and a pattern to make a bunting/sleeping bag. I have three tons of fabric, I just need to figure out what we need most and just do it.
6) brother's wedding quilt (sorry, David, it keeps getting bumped)
7) Just saw a couple of the kids' little stuffed animals that have been sitting by my sewing table with holes in them for a few months. Feeling guilty.

ETA: Took care of the stuffed animals, sewed a button on some school pants that have been sitting there since oh, about when school began, put the elastic in the other foot of nephew's Halloween costume (he wore the rest of it already, these are just the shoe covers in bright orange), found the envelope with a friend's quilt squares and realized she never got back to me on if I should make it just the size of the squares or add to it and what colors to use. all of this helps slightly with the cleaning up sewing area. Very slightly.
