HOLIDAY MAGIC...handmade gifts

you may remember that our family has tons of fun 

making gifts for one another.

(or sometimes we support and buy gifts from local artisans).

here's some pictures of some things batman and i made...

i made a quilted tote for my mumsie (above)
in her favorite aqua color.

here's a very simple table runner i made for lindsey.
i made a flannel/snowflake pillow for hannah,
just like this one.

do you remember this little art quilt?

 i stitched it into a quilted tote for gretta

(her hints were so subtle!).

batman made a custom spice rack for
 lindsey's kitchen in massachusetts.

an inside joke inspired batman to make a
nimbus 2000  for gretta.

we're still not sure who had more fun with this one...
the giver or the recipient.
(isn't that the way it's supposed to be?)
batman also made a mini corn hole game for hannah
to play with her handsome kitty, javier.
(stew and dawn have just downsized and moved,
so we are waiting to hear what they might like
from the marmie and batman creative team.)

i bought a kit for this fish ages ago,

and finished it for batman this year.

now that he's a fledgling fly fisherman,

i thought this could be his "trophy fish".

it felt great to get this done,
and it looks quite handsome hanging
on the wall at our "bit of earth".

come on back tomorrow to see some more handmade gifts!
