There was making:

Christmas cards...
gift tags with twine and pretty tape...
Clay pieces rolled and cut with cookie cutters; decorated with recycled beads...
printed with nature...
made into hearts...
finished with macrame...
A dreamcatcher (driftwood, twine and beads.. this one didn't make it off my deck; it's a prototype for more, I hope...)
There was baking...so much baking...
mince tarts...
gingerbread men...
and afghans and shortbread...multiple batches.
There were beanies...lots of beanies. Probably nine or ten; I lost count.
There were baskets of sugar scrubs and homemade goodies.
There was red wine with gluhwein sachets...
Each piece or item made with love;
made for family and friends.
Well done on making so many gifts, I'm sure it was such a rewarding experience gifting all that handmade goodness.
ReplyDeleteThe Pjs are lovely. x
Clever girl! x
ReplyDeleteWow, you made so many things! I think it's so nice that you gave handmade things. I really love the dress at the beginning, can you share the pattern? Happy New Year to you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, thanks for your kind words. I had a lot of fun. The dress was kinda made up as I went along. It started as a simple piece, gathered at the top, then I added full sleeves, then I had to cut the sleeves back as the armholes were too small! So I don't really have a pattern, as such...
DeleteOh wow, so many makes! You were busy. I love it all, but especially the pyjamas and shorts - that bobble trim! And the dresses too. You choose such gorgeous fabric, which makes your gifts really stand out. I hope they were all well received and that you had a fab Christmas. x
