A new year has begun and I always find for the first week I just like to recover from the holidays. It gives me a chance to make lists of what I would like to accomplish in the coming year. Projects to finish and new ones to start; places to visit and maybe some new skills to learn.
I made some of my gifts this past year and would like to increase the amount in the coming year.
Here are some of them
This little fairy jar was made for my young cousin as a Christmas gift. The jar is an adaptation of the tutorial Nest Baby Project; from Dawn Edmonson. Another great tutorial that was offered on Nancy Green's Artist Class.
Fairy Jar Details
The text on the tag is as follows:
This little Fairy Jar is a very special jar with Magical wishes for Mommy and Maddison. It also contains loving remembrances from past generations.
The Little fairy is Maddison at 6 months old
The little gold charm was gifted to Grandma from Maddison's Mommy.
The pink crochet lace was made by Maddison's Great Grandma Stanton
The white crochet lace on the lid was made by Maddison's Great, Great Grandma Bartlett
The Magical Jar represents five Generations of Women
I made three sets of these wrist warmers using a pattern I bought from BellaMcBride's Etsy shop. They were Christmas gifts.
Some beaded bookmarks, cell phone charm and charms for Saucy's Christmas Charm swap
And my second crochet Amigurumi Pup that is now the proper size.
Wishing everyone a creative new year
