I am making quite a lot. Just today I saw my best friend and gave her a large set of napkins and some honey. I am almost done with slippers for my husband, my daughter gets a maggie rabbit and her teachers get handwarmers. And my other best friend gets mittens :)
ReplyDeleteThis year I made one friend a foldover clutch and two beaded bracelets for Christmas. And I've made my children's teachers crocheted Christmas ornaments as end of year gifts. :)
ReplyDeleteI am one of these people who always makes a massive list of handmade gifts to make. At the moment, I'm working on gift boxes to hold handmade fudge for teacher gifts, or I should be. Actually I'm enjoying reading a whole bunch of blogs. Also - I get the hand quilting thing - I'm about half in half handquilting/machine quilting - but I always put my bindings on by hand, they look so much better to me.
