Homemade Gifts, Handmade Presents

This holiday season, I decided to make all of our gifts. 
I knew there wouldn't be that many. We only get gifts for the children in my family and a white elephant gift. In Blake's family, we're "assigned" a sibling's family (but we also get goodies for the rest of the kiddos)

Heres a rundown of everything I made:
(as I get around to posting the tutorial or pattern review I'll link it back to this post)

1.  Wallet for Blake.



2) Birthday Board for Grandma


2. Fabric, foldable doll houses and Peg dolls for our niece and two little cousins.








4. Braided scarf and bracelet for our sister in law, Becky



5. Princess Peg Dolls and Bag for a white elephant



6. Balance Game for my brother and cousin - Blake did most of work for these - We actually made another one specially for Quinn, but I didn't get a picture.



7. Alien and Ninja Peg Doll "Roll Ups" for two cousins and a nephew




8. Beach Blanket Tote for my little cousin (sorry for the crappy color)


9. Monster Plushies for Lincy and our baby cousin.



10. Lemon Sugar Scrub and Lemon Shower Bombs for our second white elephant


... and a couple of framed pictures for Grandparents.


It was a lot of work but SO much fun! So much fun,  in fact I've opened up my own ETSY store and have most of these projects listed. I'm not counting on making money, just hoping to have more fun projects to do, funded by others that I don't have to keep. :D

  1. Thanks again for the cute gifts. I'm so impressed with you! By the way, I have a few of the aliens you gave Paul floating around (in the car, a few in my purse, etc) and they have been lifesavers several times. At some point we'll probably manage to keep them in the case, but even without, they have been a big hit!
