At any rate...
I crafted a few goodies to give to the family last Christmas...we did primarily a Goodwill theme last year, but I always like to make a few things too :) First up: handmade coffee cozies, so they didn't have to use the cardboard ones from the coffee shops! They have hook-n-loop closures, so they can be laid flat in a wallet or purse. They're insulated, and machine washable to boot!
I also sewed up some pretty neat oven mitts. At least I thought they were...everyone else giggled a bit! Oh well...not everything can be a hit ;)
I can't remember where I saw this now, but I L.O.V.E.D it and put it on some throw pillows (two of them!) for Christmas:
I got some good feedback from these boys :)
