The reason I haven't been posting for a few months is I've been working hard! When the budget is tight, the scrapper makes all her gifts. Here are some of my highlights. (Keep in my I sew and scrap better than I take photos...)
So my neices and sister-in-law got holiday aprons. It was easier to make an adult size one than downsize it for little tiny waists, especially since my growing waist wasn't much help. I find that half aprons aren't about the purpose of an apron, but rather are about looking cute!
I signed up for a swap on "Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope" and was matched up with a sweet woman from Mesa who lost a baby girl only a few weeks before I lost JJ. Yellow butterflies remind her of her angel baby, so I made her a butterfly wreath. It turned out beautifully!
A few of my friends got this really cool purse I made. Originally I was hoping it would be large enough for my scrapping friends to use it when they went to a crop or something, but I'm still not good at that whole "size" thing while sewing. So it actually turned out to be more of a bag/large purse. I found out how to make the cool flowers online and have been addicted every since.
Some of my other gifts that didn't get photographed before being given were:
- A Christmasy Kitchen Aid "dress" for my mother in law.
- A digital calendar featuring US golf courses for my dad.
- A digital calendar for my mom, sister and aunt.
- A honeymoon scrapbook for my sister.
