What fun crafty stuff are you asking for Christmas?
Everyone always has more "wants" than they have money for in the crafting department. What are you hoping to get this holiday season?
Re: What fun crafty stuff are you asking for Christmas?
I am boring when it comes to craft requests this year--I want more FURNITURE instead LOL!
"Santa" and I are going to the store this weekend to purchase a new bed/mattress and hopefully a couple of other pieces. This will allow our current bedroom set to be moved into the guest bedroom. I also want "Santa" to close in the living room downstairs so that it can be used as an office to free up another room upstairs since we will need it this summer.
Hopefully "Santa" listens...or Mrs. Claus might not be so agreeable!

You crack me up, Justinlove!
I'm pretty boring too. I want paintbrushes in my stocking and I asked for the Farmer's Wife quilt book. Other than that, I really want serving pieces to go with my Fiestaware. We got a different set for our wedding and I hated it, but was given this Fiestaware set from DH's grandma, but she had no serving pieces. So that, and I think my mom is getting me the Kindle Fire. lol So very un-crafty this year.

I want a new camera and computer this year. I love paper crafting, and love the programs I use, but our current computer is sooo slow, and its hard to work on things sometimes. Hopefully Santa will be nice to me.
Other than that, JoAnn's and Michales gc's are always appreciated!

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

I am getting a new iron... maybe you ladies will be the only ones who would realize how excited this makes me.
Also a set of pinking shears.
We are not doing much for Christmas, our dog just tore his ACL and we are scheduling surgery for him
I have lots of crafty stuff on my list this year...
Subscription to Ottobre (or just an issue or two if the subscription is out of the giver's price range)
Rotary Cutting and Embossing Machine
Simplicity Bias Tape Maker
GC to LQS or Hawthorne Threads
I just purchased a Big Shot a month ago, so maybe things for that will go on my birthday wish list (in March)
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
oooohhhhh, congrats!!!

Geez, I dunno. What more does a yarn girl want beyond a swift, ball winder, and fancy-schmancy needles? More yarn, I suppose. I've been so busy thinking about what to get everyone else that I didn't stop to think about what I wanted.
Time to ponder...

I have pinking shears and gift certificates to the Fat Quarter Shop and the LQS on my list.
I also need some more knitting needles (I buy as I need them and I have some projects coming up post-christmas which are different sizes).
I also want my Dad (who has a truck) to get me a couple of sheets of foam insulation and to help me finish building my design board. I have the batting, but was really disappointed when we went to the Home Depot and couldn't fit the foam boards into the SUV.
He also owns a staple gun which I am sure will come in handy.

I want vinyl and heat transfer vinyl and gift cards are always welcomed- I have a ton of projects to do before July!!! (not to mention I have a niece or nephew coming in March!)
Ouch! poor pup. I hope he has a speedy recovery. If you have the opportunity, I'd suggest doing some physical therapy sessions. It really helps in recovery.My husband and I had an argument about this a few years ago. I needed a new iron and he thought that was the worst gift ever and he would always be known as "that guy who bought an iron for his wife for Christmas." I had a really tough time convincing him that I truly wanted new one and it wasn't a bad thing for him to get me. So I know just how you feel!
I want one of these rotary rulers:

and maybe something like this to store my rulers:

I need more storage for my beads, just order a whole bunch and no where to put them and a desk chair. Pretty exciting I know!
