Will you be making your Christmas Gifts?
#21
I like to make almost all of the gifts for Christmas unless there is something especially wanted by someone that I can not make. One year I was really busy and bought all the grandkids presents from the store and thought they would be thrilled with their presents and when all four of them opened their presents and I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Some even cried because Grandma didn't make them a special present so now if possible I try to make each one of them something they can use. I especially love making toys, dolls and softsculpture and games and wooden puzzles. For adults I usually give knitted, crocheted or quilted/sewen gifts. I am always looking for quick and useful things to make.

Every year I make an "ornamomento". Last year was red cardinals for my daughter's college. This year little fan ornaments using up my scraps. I need a pile of them to slip into greeting cards but they don't take much effort.

Since my husband will be home this year, he is going to experiment with biscotti recipes. The adults will get a selection of them, the kids will get books (always the teacher). I do spend a lot of time trying to find the perfect books to match their ages and interests.
