That looks lovely. No, I don't knit, or sew, but I am creative. The extent of my homemade gifts are cute vintage jars filled with homemade cocoa, tied up with wooden Christmas spoons & gift tags (those from Etsy), and they are for my sisters at our family Christmas on the 13th. I always make at least one small gift to give them, even though we technically don't exchange gifts anymore. Linda
Linda, That's a great idea...technically my siblings and I don't officially exchange either, but I usually like to have some small gift for them too. Holiday wishes, Deb
It is a hat, the pattern for which is in French. My high school French helped me with the translation, except for the decreases--I haven't figured that part out yet! Deb
Such a cosy spot Deb! Yes I'm making some of these linen bags from Quince and I'm using their yarn, it's scrumptious. I have never bought yarn overseas until I came across Quince. http://quinceandco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_23&products_id=72
I have made two small tie quilts for grandchildren, a crochet Afghan for grandaughter and working on Afghan for step daughter and hubby, I tried knitting, I just couldnot get it, love love the look....I have made a couple of texting gloves and started boot cuffs..... I love your knitting!!! Blessings Rhonda
I am working on some cowls for a few of the children in our life. I am also working on one for a good friend. Thank heavens they are a fairly quick knit as I have a few more to go.
My mother was complaining about the state of her potholders. Her friend had done them, but they were too thin so she doubled them. Upon inspection, they are actually dishcloths, the diagonal Grandmother's one. I'm doing eight and will go ahead and crochet them together for her.
My husband has a 3 year old granddaughter who is all sparkle and bows. I purchased several different colors of netting, glitter and not, and made a tutu. (And that's asking a lot from this mud and camo girl...lol)
...enjoying a piece of (your) sun this morning - for inspiration, for quietness, for a cup of tea, and for making gifts.....it is summer south of the equator, and i'm contemplating baskets of kitchen gifts, garden gifts... (it might be that the contemplation needs some action...)
I have been making many of my Christmas gifts this year. I have crocheted three hats and I am crocheting 6 snowmen decorations for Christmas gifts. I myself would rather have a handmade gift then a store bought. I will be placing a small gift card with each gift : ) I hope you are enjoying your day today!
I think handmade gifts are the best. The things I have made for my girls have been their favorite gifts. They can't tell you most of what we bought them over the years, but they love their quilts. I am working on some quilted throws for them this year, and Earl made Lauren a key holder, message center with a chalkboard to go by her back door. Now that they have their own homes it's fun helping them decorate with handmade goodies from mom and dad.
Thank you for taking time to leave a comment--I love reading each and every one! I will try to answer any questions you have in the comment section. Due to the amount of spam, I am sadly no longer able to accept Anonymous comments....Kindly, Deb
That looks lovely.
