I'm a day late in posting this, but, our handmade holiday creations continue. I feel like I've been working on lots of other things over the past week (more on those in a later post) but I somehow have also made some real progress in terms of making Christmas gifts too.
I finished the first cute little women's scarf, and I made another one.
And, I have a third one on the needles now...
...but I changed to a different color yarn. Let's just say, if you are a woman on my gift giving list....you have a fairly good chance of receiving one of these AND you should not be reading this blog till after Christmas! ;-)
I also painted (with acrylics since the watercolors rolled right off) and polished these maracas with my beeswax polish for W's stocking.
I also made these decoupage coasters with photos of W and W with his Nana and Granddad for Daddy and Nana and Granddad respectively.
I also chose and edited photos to do the same project for Grammy and Boppy and Uncle S. I used cork mats made for flower pots and outdoor Modge Podge. I think I am going to have to find something else to coat them with however, since they have remained pretty sticky. I think I will also just make the next ones with whatever seems to work to seal these. They have been a pretty fun project so far!
This week I hope to finish at least one more scarf (maybe two) and get started on some hats for the big guys! I also need to come up with a gift idea for Boppy (my dad). He seems to be the one person on my list that I just can't figure out what I can make that he would enjoy. In the past I have mostly given him DVD's but somehow that just doesn't fit into the spirit of the handmade holiday! Anyone have any ideas for what to make for older gentlemen?
