Craftiness at Christmastime

Posted in Making
Just a sampling of the things I have been busy with the past few weeks:

-for a very special lady who is a joy to sew for:

the lining of the coin purse matches the lining of the bigger bag:

-ornaments for my family-in-love.  They're far away so these are light for mailing.  The kids's have a little special something inside as well.  The grown-ups have to make do with just ornaments:

And a peek at one batch of goodies.  My chocolate covered cherries in various states of dippage.  I had a few ground almonds left from the toffee so some of the cherries got rolled in those:

I've done more crafting (and cooking) but I'll wait until those gifts have been received to post photos.
Blessings!

Linz, those presents are just wonderful!
The lovely Purple set is gorgeous! I really like the lining, I am sure she will too! :)
The mittens are too sweet! I have considered doing something similar. Probably won't get around to it this year though! :)
And I am not a cherry fan... but oh my, those look D-VINE!!! :D
Yum-O!
You are just too good... I am glad you are my friend! :D
I love you!
Love,
Chas
