Crafting for the holidays

IMG_3893It started with this picture in a magazine, Molly Makes. What a great centerpiece for the Thanksgiving table.IMG_3920My version wasn’t so austere, all gourds and flowers came from the supermarket.IMG_3919Even the cranberries.

Thats’ it for the holiday specific craft, now onto gifts.P1120555A cute pouch, using vinyl. I should have changed out the needle, the machine groaned sewing through this.P1120556The end result is a very nice holiday gift.P1120665ItMy friend calls these bags, loaf of bread. I made mine more like a kleenex box instead.P1120664It is lined with iron on batting, gives it body and shape.P1120666Fun lining fabric.P1120667And my label, not sure if I can put a label on the vinyl pouch – without it being visible.IMG_3928And finally, using my friend’s pattern Fairy Stones Hat I’m making a hat for a specific friend in mind. IMG_3937Fair Isle knitting is addictive, I always want to see what the next row will look like. This will be finished very soon.  I’m having fun using my colored yarn.
