Christmas Projects

Here are the projects I was working on for Christmas presents this year. I made these fun countdown blocks for my MIL. The bottom block is painted with chalkboard paint so she can change the word out for whatever the occasion is. She is a teacher so I figured they would come in handy in her classroom.

Every year I do a scrapbook page for my mom and MIL to outline our year. Last year I forgot so they got two sets this time.

And this year's layout.
I also made this necklace for my SIL Val. I am going to have to make me another one because I love how it turned out.

I made this blanket for Derek for Christmas. I quilted it with my sewing machine by sewing tiny circles around the minky dots. Hopefully you can kind of see them in this picture. It actually went really quickly.

Here is a shot of it all laid out. Derek loves it and always starts to laugh when I lay him on it.I made this wallet for my SIL for her birthday. Here is the tutorial.I just love the inside polka dot. So cute!
She is also getting this nice brown necklace that I made. I think it turned out pretty nice.
I made these earrings for my MIL for Christmas.
I also made this growth chart board for my SIL Val for Christmas. I love how it turned out and can't wait to make me one! Here is a close up. I can't find the tutorial of how I painted it. Sorry. If you really want to know you can ask me. :)
Here is a shot of the whole board.
I made this traveling sunhat for my mom. She can take it with her anywhere or use it when she gardens.
I also made superhero capes for my neices and nephew. I used this tutorial. Here is the inside.
And the backs. So fun!
And those are my projects. I had fun making everything this year. But now I want to work on projects for me. Hopefully I can find some time to do those now. There's a long list. :)
