1. A nostepinne. A classic, no frills, no fuss yarnwinder. I like this purple one I found on etsy, made by ScottsMountainCrafts.
2. A crochet stitch dictionary/encyclopedia. This one has been in my amazon cart for a few months now:
3. Clear storage totes to help organize my crafting space. (Small ones for individual projects would be so very great!)
4. An ergonomic crochet hook or two (just to give them a try).
5. A renewed subscription to Crochet Today.
6. Thread. Yeah, it's kinda lame, but my stock is limited and it's nice to have on hand when the sewing mood strikes.
7. A Cricut machine. Oh, the fun I could have with one of these!
8. And of course, to go with the Cricut, a big fat pile of cardstock in all the colours of the rainbow. (Drooling, now. Just a bit.)
9. Ink pads. Big ones. In black and purple and a charcoal grey.
10. Gift cards! Because half the fun is in the shopping. ;)
i got some sweet clear 'shoeboxes' from can tire... they had them on special at can tire. might wanna watch the flyer? there was a 5 pack for like $10 i think? the whole top shelf of my sewing pantry is 9 clear bins with one project each!
ReplyDelete(they are these ones - not too pricey individually either - also come in 9L versions

also - buy the good thread - i have heard from more than one place that it really makes a difference in your machine (unless you are just doing things by hand) :)
Thanks, Tips! :)
ReplyDeleteIf my childhood memory serves me well, Santa does shop at Canadian Tire!
YES to good thread. I like Guitermann. ;)
Cricut is NOT the way to go! Check this out - cheaper and WAY more customization and craft possibilities. I LOVE mine!
