this holiday season? For gifts or just for your family?

We're making 2 of the no-sew fleece blankets for gifts - but that's all I've got so far.

I'll have quite a bit of time this year since my shopping is pretty much finished - so me & the kiddos are gonna need something fun to do...

I've made one of these for me

And I'm making one for 2 different friends - one in green and one in browns/blues. I might make one for my mom as well.

Our moms club made snowflake ornaments using craft sticks and sequins. I painted the sticks and glued them together and the kids decorated them. We're going to a local nursing home to donate them for their trees.

So far that's all but I'm just getting started. I love this time of the year.

I've made one doll quilt ( looks like American Girl Kirstens) Will pick up fabric to make Julies this Sat. DH is working on Kirstens and Julies beds. Have one dress done and am working on Kirstens nightgown. Hoping to make DD matching one. Have a small chest that needs to be repainted to look like Kirstens. Need to make a matching robe set for a friends DD. Maybe a new fleece blanket for DN with a matching tote. Oh, and have to make shirts for Santa pics before Sat. and I keep forgetting them

My dad does woodworking and is helping me with a project. He's making shadow boxes - about 10 inches across and 2 inches deep. Inside, I'm mounting hand-crocheted potholders that were made by my grandmother. In the middle of the potholders, I'm putting a small picture of her. She died 10 years ago and I'm giving these to my mom, sister, brother and uncle (and keeping one for myself) as a rememberance of her.

I made some bath salts. I bought a dozen wide mouth ball canning jars and mixed essential oils, epsom salt, food coloring and baking soda together. I brought some in to work today and all my coworkers

them. Super easy!!

I'm another one making tutus. I have 2 toddler nieces who are very into Disney and pretend-play, so they're getting handmade Tinkerbell tutus and wings. I haven't kept mine no-sew, though. I start with those basic instructions, then add details based on which character I'm doing (there are pics of Belle, Aurora, and Tink tutus in my PTr if anyone is interested).

We're also making filled glass Christmas ornaments, some glitter and some poupourri, and photo calendars for my mom & my inlaws.
