Choosing from Many Ideas for Hand Made Gifts



I'm going to add to my goals for this year my plans to build a stash of hand made year-end gifts. Every year, I say I am going to do this. Every year, I make it a demand of myself. This year, I'm simply going to make it a goal.

For any of us who make things with our hands, heads or hearts, giving a hand made gifts is something we not only want to do, we seem to be addicted to doing it.

I began pinning tons of quick-and-easy handmade ideas to my Pinterest pages, whenever I found something that seemed in my skill and interest range. These are literally visual bookmarks with links to the patterns. I can easily scroll down all the photos and choose some things to work on.

My range of ideas saved includes chenille stems, printables, no-sew fleece projects, crochet patterns, jewelry projects, projects for men, women, and kids, old and young, and many, many more.

My biggest problem this year will be choosing a few from all those I've marked. But it will be a fun problem, I think.

So glad you liked them, my friend. I found the bookmark calendars online, as well as the chenille stem angel ornament - I made up the chenille stem stars on my own. I hope to post the pattern for those stars soon!
