Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

Everyone in our house gets a stocking.
I don't put junk in to fill it up, but I really need to be looking for little things much earlier instead of waiting for December.

Does anyone fancy a Challenge?

Or even two Challenges....

The £10 stocking, and the £5 stocking.

You have to post photos and prices.
Handmade items have to be costed in materials but not time. Knitting from stash is free.

Start haunting those charity shops now....

Should we have a prize for this one?

We do something similiar - Mum and I fill an (hollow) snowman I made with little bits for the rest of the family - small items - they are named but are pulled out one by one in a lucky dip sort of way - the kids love it

I love doing the stockings, but will only have one to do this year as only DS2 will be at home.

I will join in but will do a $15.00 and a $7.00 one - not the exchange rate but approximately equivalent purchasing power.

There will be the extra challenge for me getting things suitable for a fussy 14year old boy

Are there sweets he misses from home....
Or how about a book of promises...
Stay up to midnight voucher, camping in the snow, that sort of thing.

Thanks! We can get some things at this new store just opened called World Market, and the British Shop but I'll let you know if there is anything crucial missing.
