Hi Kris! I cannot drive a manual, but my car can be switched to a manual status. My husband sometimes drives it in manual. I’m glad I’m not the only one with partial decorations. I tried putting them out early, but I couldn’t get around to it. I loved hearing about the island festivities. My husband plays in a band too 🙄. I didn’t participate in a make 9 this year. However, I’ve gotten a whole lot done, so I’m satisfied. TFS!
When do you think you’ll finish decorating??? I’m hoping by the end of the week to have at least my tree fully done 😮💨😫. You definitely did get a lot done this year. You’ve made so many great things! God help us with our musicians lol
I love driving a manual, however I have found there is a good reason for an automatic. I have severe asthma and when i am in a flare, I don't have the energy to drive a manual. I did not do a make nine this year. Maybe I should start thinking about it for 2025. I am so glad you rested tonight and listened to your body. Feel better!
It’s so thrilling driving a manual but definitely a ton more work!!! I can see how in an asthma attack automatic would be tons better. I think my make nine started off hot and fast and slowed a little toward the end of the year but definitely a good challenge worthy of a thought or two. Thanks for watching’
I saw you and your beautiful dress on the Love Notions secret sewist video. I love that you used the border print in the waist and bottom of the sleeves. It is so unique and looks beautiful. I didn't participate in Make 9 this year. I made my first pair of pants (Duet). It was my biggest toughest goal for the year. Pants terrify me. My sewing goal has been to create an entire me-made wardrobe. I am very close to achieving it.
Thanks for that! I’m going to share a little bit more about it here soon 😄pant sewing is definitely a challenge. That was one of my goals this year too😮💨🤗
Hi Kris, you’ll need equal parts raisins, currants, prunes, sultanas. 1/2 cherries and 1/8 mix peel. I usually soak 1lb each with corresponding portion of cherries and mix peel. Then with that, I use 1 lb each of flour, butter, sugar, 10 eggs, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger powder. Bake at 300f for about 1.5 hours. Soak with rum and a port wine. Best of luck.
I don’t like making curtains either. You change your curtains for Christmas… that sounds so awesome… I love a manual car!!! I have an auto but learnt in a Manual and made my eldest learn in a manual!! May make nine… I did 5 I think. Glad I didn’t make them all cause I lost a shed load of weight. I’d be upset cause there was things I didn’t want to waste being too big. ❤
Curtains are a project. I didn’t like making them and I don’t even like changing them. It’s a Caribbean thing. At Christmas everyone is cleaning from top to bottom and changing curtains and the like!! Manuals are so fun to drive. Tricky but fun!
@ I got a manual license so not tricky here…. I’d be a hoon if I had one. When my son was learning to drive I would get him to drive me to his work and I would drive the car home again, and it was so much fun! We have dad’s ute and I love driving that. So easy to drive that manual….
Kris, take care of your back. I'm dealing with back issues now at almost 60 years of age and it's not fun, but I don't let it keep me down😅😅😅😅 I did not do a make nine list this year, but I may do it next year.😅
@ I have thought about it. Not sure if it’s beneficial to me. But I like seeing what everyone else commits to doing. I have so many things I want to sew I don’t like committing to anything because I will likely change my mind.
@ thats fair. I think thats why i chose categories for mine. I hate being tied down to specific things. It worked well enough this year, probably should start thinking about next year

Hi Kris! I prepared my own meals,... Well I should say my husband prepared the meals for me...❤😅❤
I'm in awe of husbands who can cook! 🙏🏾 what a blessing!

Wow, that's so detailed! I'm going to need to write that down for later. Thanks for the recipe! Very thoughtful of you !!!
I think I made four of my make nine,better luck next year!
That’s ok! You got some done so well done!!!
We need the hubby for the culture😅
I HATE it I can’t lie. We’ve never had a proper Christmas 🥹. Sucks

I’m trying Zelda but I definitely can’t let it keep me down with two kids and mostly absent husband this season 😩
@unsewcial 🫂 air hugs
That is a shift stick. I left to drive a manual car and did not drive an automatic to i moved to the US!
Definitely not as easy to drive but I do enjoy it!
No I didn’t participate in make 9. You did great though. Thanks for sharing. I hope you get rest and feel better
Thank you so much. Any plans to participate next year? Or maybe even try a different spin on it?
