Crafts as Gifts 2012

Crafts as Gifts by Me in 2012

This is a continuation of my original Crafts As Gifts lens. My first one was just getting too full!

Besides, I have made a vow that the majority of my gifts this year will be handmade by me, or ordered hand made by others.
Does anyone want to join me in my endeavor?

I believe that hand made gifts come more from the heart than store bought gifts.

There will be a few gifts in this lens that I made in 2011, but didn't get put into my first lens. I hope you enjoy, and maybe even get some good ideas along the way.

I made a new page on my blog entitled HomeMade in 2012. This page holds a linky that I hope will get filled up throughout the year. I want to see lots of ideas and motivation etc. You can find the blog page here. (hint, hint--if you have lenses where you share gifts that you have made for others, or where you share instructions on making hand made gifts, please take the time to share the links on my page)

Also add the links to the link list module on this lens as well please.

Quilt I Made for My Grandson Cash on his 4th Birthday 2011

I used fabric that was printed to make a fabric book. I chose to cut the pages out and put them on to a quilt instead. It so happened that I had the colorful material to use in between each picture and for the backing already in my material stash.

I certainly do ... and have for many years. Most of mine are created in crochet. :) I love to create for others.

goldenecho says:

Sometimes. I've given earrings before that I made, and calligraphy. Does bread count too?

Helene-Malmsio says:

Yes, when I make the time and effort, and in 2012 I WILL!

No

cffutah says:

I've gotta first make them before I can give them away. Unfortunately, the making stuff bug hasn't bit me yet.

Nah unfortunately I just do not have the knack for being artsy craftsy...
