Even before that dratted snowflake went up in my neighborhood, and the Christmas commercials began, I’ve been steadily making gifts for loved ones. I’m feeling pretty virtuous as I’m usually not as organized and have a crazed knitting frenzy right up until Christmukah. We celebrate both Chanukah and Christmas here, so it’s a double-whammy. And then of course Neil and Lindsay both have birthdays in January…but my eye has started twitching, so I’ll just stick with the first two holidays.

Anyhow, I was poking around Pinterest and saw these lovely napkins. They were the inspiration for me to buy a serger sewing machine. I know that sounds crazy, but hopefully I will dazzle everyone with my home sewn goodies enough, that I will prove my sanity.

These are ones I made using linen. I’m really happy with how they turned out. It’s hard to stop when there are so many fun color possibilities. I am trying to switch over entirely to cloth napkins at home, and giving them might encourage others to do the same.
