In addition to these things (which are all for my kids!), I want to:

Crochet:

1. Mitten or gloves and hat sets for my kids, the Husband, my mom, my dad, my sister, my brother, and my in-laws.
   
2. Afghans for my kids, the Husband, my mom, my dad, my sister, and my brother.
   
3. A purse/bag for my mom, my sister, and my nieces.
   
4. A wine holder (in which I'll put a bottle of nice wine) for my in-laws and my parents.
   
5. A scarf for my brother and my sister.
   
6. 20 preemie hats in acrylic and 20 preemie hats in cotton for a local hospital or charity.
   
7. A few things for an online charity I keep meaning to join each year.
   

So obviously, some of this stuff isn't going to get done. I'm going to try and narrow down this list a bit as the year goes on. I'm trying to decide what I'm going to get started on first. I'm going to do the toys in either acrylic or cotton. I have some green (various shades), blue, pink, and purple acrylic right now. I'm thinking that I can make some of the balls and/or blocks right now. I want to make blocks in various sizes and make a lot of them. I remember that my cousin had these big foam blocks that looked like bricks when we were kids and I loved pulling those out and playing with them when I went to her house. I'd love to make some of those for my kids. Maybe like twenty blocks, even more if I could do it.
