I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. We did. My sister in Maryland, was suppose to fly in Christmas night, but had to move it up to Christmas eve because of the weather. I was fun/crazy to have all eight cousins opening gifts together. Christmas Night is my favorite part of the day. My dad works all day on a feast of prime rib, salmon,shrimp, and my favorite king crab legs. For dessert he makes creme brulee and chocolate mousse. After dinner we gather for a prayer of thanks and open handmade gifts from each other. I've blogger about it HERE. There is always crying, we are a bunch of babies, and a couple of unfinished gifts. My family gave some amazing gifts this year. I'm excited to share them with you in a few days when I can get some pictures.
Until then I'll share some of my handmade gift the next couple of days.
For my mom and sisters I made upholstery bags. I made one a couple months ago for myself and love it. I tried to find fabric to match everyones personality.
I'll be back tomorrow with another gift.
Oh my! I love ALLLLLLL of them! GREAT JOB! They are beautiful!

These bags are beautiful! How difficult are they to make? Do you break very many needles?

ReplyDeleteI love these! I think the purple is my favorite. I live near a fabric store that has a great selection of upholstery fabrics and I have been wanting to make a bag like this for a while! Great job! Would love for you to come visit me at Sew Chatty and link up to Made with Love Monday. I host every week.
