Handmade Holiday: Project List Updated… or maybe it’s really just amended?
2009 @ 11:11 am
Now that it’s officially December, I’m am getting stressed. Why does everything have to happen at once? I plan this massive craft undertaking at the same time as my clients need me. Luckily, some extra cash speaks to the reason I was crafting my ass off in the first place. Either way, I am still attempting to give mostly handmade this year. I give you, the updated list (previously found here):
*Grocery Bag Dispensers. Tutorial by Kim Kight, posted on Dioramarama.com in Dec 2006.
*Rice Heat Therapy Bag. I’ll be mixing it up a bit and doing some heat packs, some small “boo boo buddy” variety.
*
Embroidered Paper Dolls. Time to put that embroidery machine to work! I’m hoping this was a good buy and will be loved by all the little girls in our lives. And that it will only take one night to make a few. HA.I am crazy… way too many colors to change, details that could go wrong. Plus I don’t have all the colors I would need and don’t want to order and wait…*One princess dress for dress-up.
*Two or three aprons. I’ve had most success with the full apron from Lotta Jansdotter’s book Simple Sewing.
*One yoga mat bag. I love the one Carrieoke made a while back and plan to follow the same tutorial. Simple Sewing does feature a mat bag, but it doesn’t have a round bottom and I like that idea.
*Machine Embroidered Coasters. More on that later…
*Some sort of ornament. Contenders thus far are 10-minute Santa or Martha’s latest snowflakes, which are like a fun science experiment.
*Knit ski mask. By Jenna Adorno and found on Knitty.com
Off to get started!
