some of the pressies I made for family for Xmas
Slippers for my MIL to keep her feet toasty warm
Both the slippers & flower were crocheted
I bought an inexpensive hat & used my handmade felt
and cut the flowers out using my Big Shot & a Sizzix build a flower die & sewed them on using buttons for the centers.
I made a Dressing Table Tidy for my niece
I painted the insides a plain antique white & the outside & top rims were given a coat of colour then painted white & crackle glazed
The recipient :-)
Other members of the family got Snoods - hand knitted & with handmade buttons that I crafted from Fimo
So there you go - a few of the handcrafted pressies ...

My MIL got in on the act too making the boys of the family (including the dog!) knitted hats :-)

great xmas gifts. Thanks for sharing ;o)
Smashing gifts,Rachel. I like the dressing table tidy. Did you make the box as well? Gorgeous slippers too. What did the fellas think of their hats?
Thanks Paula :-)
The dressing table tidy started off life as a wooden cutlery holder Kath :-) The fellas loved their hats, but puppy dog wasn't so keen LOL
Gosh, what a lot of lovely gifts you made. Love the fimo buttons and I'd love some of those cosy slippers x
It's lovely to give (and receive) handmade gifts, isn't it. Those piny purple booties are fab. Wish I could knit but I have two left hands LOL
Fab gifts Rachel! I really love the felt flowers. xx
Thanks for the kind comments. There were 21 of us for our Boxing Day celebration & everyone got something handcrafted :-)
