Well I haven't got much to show you this week. With it being so close to Christmas I've been trying to finish as many as possible and get them wrapped.
I do still have my elephant hat that isn't finished. I'm going to try and get it made up before the year is finished.
I have posted pictures below of everything I've been making for Christmas. My family don't read my blog so it's safe to post pictures :-)
I don't have a picture but I made Ryan's teacher and the lollipop lady a mug cosy and bought a mug for each of them to go on. I do have a picture of the ones I made for the men in my family. I made one for my dad, my husbands dad and my husbands step-dad. I hope they like them. I'm sure they won't, my husbands family don't seem to appreciate hand-made gifts the way mine does.
This is a fantastic pattern from:
I love this pattern, very easy to follow and perfect size!
My mums tea pot cosy:
Last but not least the scarfs that I have made for the women in the family.
One for Ryan's Auntie Sara, My husbands Mum and his dads partner.

For my first year of making presents I don't think I'm doing too bad. We are hoping to start earlier next year and maybe make things for hampers from scratch as well. I think it means so much more when you have taken the time and effort to make a gift. We do have one gift to finish. we bought one relative a big biscuit jar but before we wrap it we are going to make a load of cookies to fill the jar.
I hope your christmas gifts are coming along well. If I don't get time to post before Christmas I hope you all have a good one. Thank you to all the people who have left comments you have made me feel part of something that is wonderful. At last I have found a place where it's ok to make things!
Don't forget to go over to Tami's to look at some more wonderful WIPs

ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've stumbled across your blog but I'm impressed. I love what you're saying about handmade gifts and the in laws. U should have a look at the article about kirsties home made stuff. There's a link to it on my page, I'm not sure I can find it now on my phone. See what u think of what Sally bercow says.
Enjoy.
Love the scarf and mug cozies, but that owl tea cozy steals the show! So cute, especially with the googly eyes. (How have I never done a crocheted owl with googly eyes yet?)
