Last But Not Least

Well Christmas is finished!  Timing was good this year.  I have a week to spare.  That is if I have not forgotten something!   Here are the last of the ornaments.  Now it is time to decide what to do next year.  And so it goes!






Well that is it for this year.  Hopefully I will back back in the new year and getting ready for valentines!  I have a new Valentine Tree to set up with tiny little ornaments that are cross stitched.  So I need to get started.  Have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Years!

Christmas Gifts in Full Gear for the Season! 2011

This month is always a busy one around here.  I usually make a lot of items for Christmas.  This year is no different.  I will add some pictures here of things I have made.
These are treasures for the treasure box I made for my granddaughter's birthday coming up in January.  I miss her like crazy! I have gotten her some dress up clothes for Christmas and I feel this will complete her entire look!

Some great fiber art beads from SweetArtUnlimited on etsy
 
 

A fiber art brooch from SweetArtUnlimited on etsy.com





This is the first time I have tried these.  It was a whole bunch of fun!  I still have several more to make. I hope those who receive them for Christmas will love them too!


These are a few earrings I have made for some of my special friends and family. 



This one is for my "artist" daughter.  I finished it last night.  The fabric was left over from a throw pillow I made her last year.  I have a sneaky
suspicion that the cat will take care of this for her.  She said the cat has made the pillow a place to sleep. 

Well to end this part here are some handmade boxes for gifts I have made out of paper.  They were just right for the jewelry.  Also pictured is some fat quarters I am sharing with some quilting friends.  I have wrapped them in batting.  It has been fun coming up with new things every year but it also taxes my mind!  Have fun and if there is anything I can help you with please contact me.
Merry Christmas!
