Handmade Christmas

I love giving and receiving handmade gifts! There was a lot of handmade generosity going around this holiday! As much as possible I will try to share sources in case anyone gets inspired!

A turtle from Auntie Lee. She got the pattern from Martha.


a collage for my studio from Anja…

Look at the details! I love it. I already have it hung up, see, Lee?


A freshwater pearl necklace from me to Joanna.


A ceramic manger scene glazed by my mother and Anneke! I was sooo excited – I finally have a lovely manger scene like my mother’s!


Wool socks from Beppe (my mother) for Jesse.


Angora and wool knitted wrist-warmers from Olivia! I know she got the pattern from knitty, but I couldn’t find the page for you. ๐Ÿ™‚ sorry.


An Amy Butler bag from Alyssa! Whoo-hoo! I love Amy Butler! And she used vintage cloth from her stash – yum! I used the bag today as I took advantage of 40 degree temps and walked to the library. The wide shoulder straps made even hauling books home a pleasure!


Finally, a felted wool clutch from my mother. A clutch is sooo vintage and classy – I can’t wait ’till my next date with Jeremy so I can use it!

    *sniff* You didn't post a picture of what I made you! I feel unloved. *sniff, sniff*
    Was it not worthy of the blog? *sniff
