I can do a little bit more extensive blogging at this point about the handmade gifts that I made for the holidays since they have all been given away. Cedi’s OwlCapri’s OwlAn Owl for my Friend’s Baby, Ayla For my dad’s side of the family, the Van Grunsven’s we had to bring a $20 exchange gift…I decided to make mine this year – the Mocha Meringue Tote Bag. My cousin Mandy ended up with it….I think she was happy (hope so). If you really like it – no worries…I have enough to make a custom order bag! These two pictures are of a crazy quilted bag I made for a friend of mine…she really likes orange and textures. The strap is adjustable so you could throw it over your shoulder or across your chest. And lastly…this is the quilt I made for my mom and dad. They wanted a wall hanging for one of their walls in their “new” house (well…they moved in over a year ago).I managed to piece it together but I still have to send it to Barb to be quilted and I need to add the binding.

I would love for you to share with me any handmade gifts either you made or received!
