As we all know, Christmas was tight. Here is what having a tight Christmas makes:
For Gabe's wonderfully loved shadow, the first bag I've ever made...
For Uncle B, the first CD holder and coffee cup sleeve I've ever made...
For Brandi's boys Wesley and Riley, the first felt food I've ever made and first sewn letters...
(Brandi- act surprised when I finally swing by your house to drop them off...)
For Gabe's homeroom teacher (I'll be making one for his resource room teacher as well), the first decorated clipboard I've ever made...
For Steph, same bag for Gabe's shadow, only we bought the pattern with her in mind (then I found the fabric the shadow's is made with for her...)...
For Mary, my first camera strap and first envelope pillowcase...
I also made three sets of PJ bottoms for Gabe and Hope each, which there will NEVER be pictures of...yikes.
And I made my first photo board for a family tree for Carol, which I managed not to get pictures of apparently.
I attempted to make Hope and I new stockings for Christmas but gave up the fight after 10:30pm Christmas Eve night while still waiting for Santa to do his thing. I'll finish them up for next year I hope.
I had fun making most everything. Some projects were more fun then others but only based on which projects seemed to work out the way I wanted them to and on whether or not the things I used worked or not (don't ask how much spray adhesive I used or worthless Mod Podge or how often my seam ripper was used) . I DO hope that we have another tight Christmas soon as I really do like making things for people. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a wonderfully blessed New Year!
