presents

So as i mentioned earlier, this year i decided that i would make as many christmas gifts as time and my sanity would allow. now that the gifts have all been handed out, here's what i spent my past 1.5 months or so making...

3 pairs of flannel pants for my mom and sisters


i spy bags for natalie (to grow into) and our 2 nieces


2 appliqued photo albums made out of recycled wool sweater scraps for my mom and andy's mom


2 oak leaf ornaments also made from recycled wool sweater scraps for our moms




Another set of rag quilt letters for our other niece


a jumper for a niece


a robe for a brother-in-law with long arms (it fit perfectly. whew)


a pug puppet also made out of wool sweater scraps for natalie


2 zip pouches for my sisters to match their purses and wallets that i gave them earlier this year


3 bomber hats for andy's brothers and dad. wool outer, fleece inner


this last one wasn't a gift, but I did make it. I saw in Pottery Barn Kids a felt advent calendar that was so super cute, but they wanted a ridiculous amount of money for it, so i thought i'd try to make one similar. It's about 3.5 feet tall! I used nice wool felt so hopefully it'll last until natalie's old like her ma.




Coming up next are natalie's Christmas dresses. yes, dresses. plural.
