There aren't words for how bad I am at wrapping presents (except maybe 'I'm bad at wrapping presents'). My mom taught me the proper way to wrap presents when I was a kid, and I took that knowledge and skill and threw it all out, deciding in my strange child head that my way was better. A couple decades later I still suck at it to the point it's a running family joke.
This year I'm finally trying something new- boxes! My friendly local Joann's had these printed boxes on sale, and the peppermint ribbon was half off (!) too. I can't wrap presents, but I can put things in boxes and tie ribbons around them really well!
All of this is completely negated by my use of Post-It Notes as labels.
I have been crocheting as well. Some of those boxes in the photo contain crocheted gifts as well as storebought ones, but until the people receive them I'm not going to post anything more about it.
And below, these are the first few flowers in a flower-heavy project I'm starting with some yarn I found in my bin.
My yarn bin is like free shopping because I'm a compulsive yarn buyer and have a really short-term memory.
After my finals are over I can get moving on crafts for real. So close!
