As Promised...

I promised you all that I would post pictures of the Christmas gifts that I made this year.
So without further adu...

For one of my sisters-in-law & brothers-in-law.
They also got a bottle of wine from a local vineyard.

For my Parents-in-law (they also got a wine cork trivet & bottle of wine).
The back of this hot pad is the mitten fabric from the towel.

Two of this set were made...
One set for my Mother (she also got a candle and stainless steel slotted spoon).
The other set for my sister-in-law & brother-in-law (they also got a trivet and bottle of wine from a local vineyard).

I made two other sets like those pictured, but didn't get a photo of them.  I do have enough of the fabric to make us a set of each though, but I think I want to work on something new for this month. 
I made two more sets, but they were basic hot pads with a towel.  Sadly, I was in such a rush to get them wrapped that I didn't take any pictures.  That is okay though, I think you get the idea!  ;-)

 I have to admit that I got a bit burnt out on hot pads and towels in December.  However, I will be revisiting them, because I want holiday and seasonal sets of my own.  ;-)  They also make a great "go to" gift for a teacher or day care provider, so I will have to be sure to make plenty to keep as my "go to's" when I am not sure what to give.

A few posts ago, I was making Logan a new school bag too.  Well, I did get it done and he was excited to take it to school when he went back...

Cool stuff Beth!! You did so much better than me in the gifting of handmade items--I had grand plans that didn't amount to much. ;o) There's always next year . . .

@Janna - I am starting out really early this year, so I have many more things to gift. As a matter of fact, I am starting this Saturday! Crazy, huh?
@Lindsay - you are always welcome to come over. I am going to be a "busy bee" this year with my "new craft per month" goal
@Kirsten - hopefully they are rustic enough for you to use for Christmas, but hope you will use them all year long since they aren't exactly a Christmas theme!
Loves to you all!!!
