Handmade Holiday - 2011






Gathered greenery and added some birch bark hearts to the ends of some twine which is holding the         swag together - all can be returned to the earth

Knitting another pair of mittens for oldest daughter in purple

Knitted cotton washcloths to go with these beautiful soaps from Old Gates Farm

Printing these gorgeous free calenders from A Number of Things

How are your holiday projects coming along?

Please feel free to share links and ideas in your comment.

Warm wishes,
Tonya

    I love the wreath Tonya! We have so many birch trees down from the ice storm. I have made advent logs with them. My husband drills four candle holes and I decorate with a bit of ivy and berries , insert candles and done:-)

    Dear Tonya...Oh, what a festive thing to go and bedeck the halls with greenery! I will have to go back and see if you linked where your wonderful mitten pattern is from. I love the birch bark decorations on your swag, too. Happy merry-making!

    The swag is beautiful. Please do tell what pattern you are using for those mittens! Mittens are on my list of new things to knit, and I've been looking for a good pattern.

    Snowman playdough would be a fun gift for kids...a nice stocking stuffer perhaps. http://thehandleyhome.blogspot.com/2011/12/playdough-snowmen.html
