Every Christmas I tell myself I'm going to make all my gifts but never find the time. Well this year, I'm proud to say I actually did! Handmade gifts are much more personal and thoughtful, and I get a lot more enjoyment spending hours in my craftroom than spending hours at the mall.
For my in-laws I made silhouettes of their two shih-tzus. These were my favorite gifts I made. I took photos of the dogs, outlined and printed off their heads in photoshop, then traced and cut out the silhouettes from some printed scrapbook papers.
My sis-in-law loves "The Big Bang Theory". After seeing this cross stitch on pinterest I knew I had to make it for her. You can buy the pattern from the wee little stitches shop on etsy.
I have a little niece who's crazy about Disney princesses. So she got a Rapunzel braid. It took one full skein of Red Heart Super Saver yarn in pale yellow, some pink ribbon and fake flowers. I followed the tutorial found at the blog seven thirty three.
You are awesome! Can't wait to see the rest!

ReplyDeleteMy evening at The Flower Shop NYC was nothing short of delightful. The restaurant exudes a trendy yet relaxed vibe, and their menu selection is a gastronomic adventure. I savored every bite of my meal, from the appetizers through to the desserts. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing our dining experience. It's definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in the city. https://www.theflowershopnyc.com/menu/
