Year of Homemade Gifts Craftalong 2012-2013

[Eiseldora]

I made all handmade items for Christmas, and they were received by my friends and family.

My niece had fun with the items I gave her:


I even made playdough


The rest of the items I made were knitted, and I posted pictures on Ravelry
For my other niece I made a blanket

and a bib


Slippers for my MIL

Some coffee cozies to replace the mugs that were damaged in shipping

2 Fuzzy scarfs

Some of the washcloths I made for everyone

A nook case for my Sister in Law's Fiance


I used items from the Winter Shop the Swap to make kits for my female relatives. Each got a crocheted Plarn Flower scrubbie, a mug, a chap of beeswax chapstick, a washcloth, some hand poured soap, and a bath poof.
All my male relatives received a mug and a stenciled shirt.

It was a nice holiday

I'm working on knitting a dress for my niece's 2nd birthday in March.

I'm also going to make some items for a coworker whose' son arrived 9 weeks early. I'm making a blanket, and I think I'll stencil some onsies.

For my hubby's birthday I made him this cereal he likes called "Holy crap."  It's this crazy good for you but still tastes great so it's super expensive cereal.  I used this recipe: http://www.cookingwithjax.com/2012/04/dragons-den-inspired-holy-crap-skinny-b.html

Buying the ingredients in bulk, I was able to get the cost from $12 per bag down to $4.55.  Pretty happy about that.
