A Handmade Christmas

I'm back. I know I've been missing in action the past few days. My goal for this christmas was to do as many handmade gifts as possible. It was a great goal! I should have just started crafting in september but I chose to start around december tenth. That must be why there was three wise men in the christmas story, because women procrastinate. Jesus would have been filling out college applications before they arrived.

I actually still haven't finished. My niece and nephew in east Texas will be receiving their gifts sometime in the spring. haha.

But I will show you a few things that I did finish and have been given already....

bows. I made over 40 hair bows... all different colors, styles, materials, etc...

a monogrammed shirt with my new embroidery machine

peg dolls. 24 handpainted peg dolls. I loved these, so fun to do.

A special wooden tile necklace. Not the cookbook, just the necklace

A crayon / car wallet. look inside....

cars on the left, crayons on the right....

race track on the back.

I'm not 100% sure but I think everyone enjoyed their gifts.

So much more happened over the christmas holidays that I'll be showing you in the next few days. But for now, I need sleep... lots and lots of sleep.
