Handmade Holiday - 2010

Kim from Our Journey 'Round the Mulberry Bush has shared a wonderful post here - Finding What You Are Good At - and relating it to creating.


I found a post from 2009 from Emily of Watkins Every Flavor Bean, a new participant to the Handmade Holiday, sharing her handmade holiday.

Here is a picture of her little one with a stuffed owl she created.


Finally, a visitor to Plain and Joyful Living, Josie of Boys in the Woods, left a comment sharing another terrific handmade idea for teenage boys which I just love.

"The best gift I have made for a teenage boy ever was one I made for my younger brother. I found an old record, can't remember what it was, and bought a clock mechanism which I put through the middle. Hey presto, a very cool wall clock for a bedroom wall."

Please share if you have any thoughts, posts or ideas for a Handmade Holiday and again, just leave a comment if you would like to be included in the list of participants.

Thanks so much and warm wishes,
Tonya

    Fun projects! Thanks for sharing! Did I mention an idea for a Princess and the Pea play set-just sew up some rectangles of cute fabric and stuff them. You can make a paper doll of the Princess or a felted one, and don't forget the pea. I will be including the book too. After seeing the Three Bears idea, I think you could do a story kit for almost any little story.
    I am going to attempt the Princess and the Pea. I'll let you know if I think I make a 'bed' to go with it.
    Thanks for sharing these great ideas!
    Peace, Angela
