Rockin' the handmade Christmas

Whilst Miss Grace took center blog-stage last week, I worked away on little gifts so this is a bit of a catch up post.

Firstly Connor's room is done ! The carpet is in but the door needs to be trimmed and rehung. This was the design he chose for above his fireplace.



I have made some Gocco stationary for some friends at work- It is great that more than one person has the same first initial.


Other people are getting little PVC toiletry bags (still unlined but getting there).


And I made these cute little decorations from the Softies book. They are so easy and I have cut out heaps, they are so quick and heaps of fun- a great way to use up scraps. I have some more owls on the way as well, for those people who may turn up their nose at a little girly frock on a tiny wee hanger....



This is part of my gift for my Kris kringle ( secret santa) at work. A vinyl pencil-case for the school nurse. I have her name on the back in vinyl letters. Her favourite colour is mauve and purple and she will probably get the little mauve dress as well.


This is not to suggest I haven't flopped one or two gifts as well - I have...... but funnily enough I didn't bother to take photos of those!

  7. I'm the lucky one and I DO work with you. Jodie you are an inspiration and a continual motivator in my craft world. I am so happy to share all the "show and tells" and ooooh and ahhhh over stuff with you. Nurse Rae is going to LOVE her secret Sandt, but I don't think it will be all that secret - there's no one else so clever!
