Well maybe I'll put it up for fun (and still donate the rest to the shelter). I could make snuggies for Readers and Kindles...

I made myself a snuggie for my iPod touch, it is blue and white houndstooth (you know, for Penn State )

Go for it - there's something very satisfying about being able to make or alter clothes. Especially when your chest, waist and hips are three different dress sizes...

No, I'll be charging $67.50

He he, actually I probably wouldn't charge much, thinking about the size one would probably only be a few hours worth of work. I'd probably do something cableknit or multicolored for extra padding.

Mortgages. Urgh. Still have a while to go on ours

And don't tell anyone, but I have a drawer full of paper that I can't bear to do anything with - the idea was to use it in artwork, but that means, well, using it!

My wife loves scarves. She and her mother both have a bunch and there always seems to be new ones popping up around the place.

While we may call it knitting, sewing, quilting, cross-stitch, etc, she calls it textile arts (or at times fabric arts.)

I'm just trying to get one I can get a REALLY good rate, but it involves points, which means coming up with a big chunk of change. I have most of it, but I'm trying to come up with more without dipping into my emergency savings.

That's a good overall term

I've always wanted a nice quilt.
