Sounds good to me!!
This Christmas (like last) I'm making all my gifts. Last year it was crocheted scarves. This year it's mittens upcycled from thrift store wool sweaters. If I have to buy anything, I'll make sure it's made in the USA. I bought all the sweaters at local charity thrift stores, so at least the second sale of the item benefited my local community (probably not the first, tho).
