I guess the countdown is on! Can you believe it's only 3 days until Christmas? I had a few more handmade gifts I wanted to finish up, but I've decided to call it quits at this point. It's time to relax.
But I did manage to finish all of my Rose Hills. Oh, this is awful light--nothing but cold rain for the last week. The darlings were the prettiest of colors, but here they're rather washed out and icky with my flash. Bah!
And a lone Thorpe gifted to my brother-in-law. I enjoyed this pattern so; I wish I had had time to make a few more. My husband and son requested one after they saw this one, but the crocheted edge tripped me up, so it will have to wait until after the holidays. It will be a good winter project, now that I can do that half-double!
A few cozies, coupled with a gift card to you-know-where. These are what became of my bundles (with plenty of fabric left over). Nothing more than tracing a little cardboard coffee sleeve and lining it with insul-brite. Easy and fast, and so satisfying all lined up and ready to go!
I added a gift tag a-la-Erin, because I thought they would be more fun with a coffee quote.
Finally, a couple of requisite Amy Butler Bags because they're always a favorite with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. This year it was Frenchy.
The rest of the gifts were finished up by my husband. A few matted and framed black-and-white prints taken with the old Deardorff. He cut all of the mats by hand. Oh how I wanted to give him his gift a bit early!
