Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm making some playcloths for the children's dress up box. We bought 4 different bright colours of broadcloth of 1 meter length each. I am yet to edge them
And inspired by Kimberlee's son Josiah's cloaks I am making a simpler version for all the children (excluding the baby)

We have made totes and no-sew fleece blankets for the families we usually buy for. I am also making two totes for my middle boys to carry their wrestling gear back and forth to practice with. I wanted to do more crochet toys for the littles (much like Rebecca makes!) but I simply have not had the time to begin.

Not making much this year - but I am planning on taking the handmade pledge for next Christmas (God willing!!) - I am starting to plan in January so all these ideas are great. Ideas I have so far:
- salves and lip balms - with natural ingredients
- beeswax candles
- Mass totes for little ones
- team fleece taggie blankets
- rosary bracelets/chaplets
- quilted purses
- homemade jewellery
- possibly jams and vinegars
- jar mixes
- herbal rice baggies/comfort pillows

I have knitted up a bunch of dishclothes and bought some Mrs. Meyers dish soap when it was on sale a few months ago to give together as a present. I bought some team fabric to make throws and pj pants for my boys. Some college fabric to make apron and tote for in-laws. My DD is sewing up pretty pencil cases for cousins.

I am also sewing some doll clothes. That will have to wait until the end.
