Blogtober #5

My project this week is to finish off Christmas presents.  I only have a couple of things to buy and make for P and J and my Christmas presents will be all sorted.  I feel virtuous already.  However, one of the things I am making is a pair of shoes for J.  I've got the leather, the needle for my machine and the pattern.  But somehow I just can't seem to bring myself to start them.  I think the pattern is the problem.  I just can't see how to follow the instructions and its given me sewer's block.  We shall see if I work up the courage to make them.
