    that you'd wear with them.... :)
    One of these centuries maybe.
    Just not into the sewing, eh...?
    Not desperate enough to get into that look.
    Not even to lengthen otherwise decent (but too short) jeans....?
    I'm not desperate enough I guess.
    I suppose not, then... ;)

    I have however been hand-stitching a crocheted bird onto a lap quilt. Made the quilt, but found the bird.

    That sounds like a worthy (and fun) project... :)

    Some of it. I also scored a pile of Christmas/Chanukkah
    gifts.
    That's also a good deal... saves money and effort for later...
    This is when I do 90% of my Christmas shopping.
    Good thinking... We've gotten to the point where we no longer have
    to buy such gifts... :)

    I still exchange them with some cousins, family and a few friends. I also do a Secret Santa exchange or two. It's worth squirreling away useful bits for that sometimes.

    Haven't had Secret Santa exchanges for years... and the friends I used
    to exchange gifts with are either gone now, or we got out of the
    habit... The family got so large that they didn't want to do gift
    exchanges any more, just a White Elephant game/gift exchange perhaps, at
    the family get-together....

    ... Laziness is simply the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Got it finished and made a small nap pillow to go with - a lightning
    strike took out my modem and I was off line for five days. Eek.

    It's even worth hunting for those. I do a "Maccabee Swap" at
    Chanukkah too, but that one uses new items.
