I am turning my attentions to all the handmade items I need to do for Christmas. Some are already done (jams, chutneys etc), some are half done (stockings for my son and niece- as what one has the other has to as well lol), and some i have to wait for so they stay fresh (biscuits, sweets and cheese straws). I am hoping that if i pace myself they will all get done in time, that's the hope anyway! I really need to stop procrastinating though (a nasty habit i have gotten in to over the years and really need to shake!) and get things done.
Another project I completed this week was for my friend who has now had her two twin boys (who are absolutely adorable by the way!) I finished the bibs for them;
I chose 100% cotton fabric for the fronts and a white towel for the back for extra absorbency. GS kindly modelled them although being 2 years old they were very small on him but look huge on the boys, it's so amazing how fast they grow!
Those are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is the trouble with homemmade edible gifts - some have to made right at he last minute, just when you are busiest! Have plans to make florentines this year, but who knows if I will get arouind to it?
ReplyDeleteThe bibs look lovely, I am always very impressed with homemade gifts, I think they are always more special as so much more thought has gone into them. I wish I had more time to do more homemade gifts x
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's a hive of activity at your house.I'm planning a bit of baking, but not until next wk when school and work has ended as time is a big factor.

I was really hoping to bake some extra little gifts for my family, but as I'm back living with my parents for awhile and the freezer is literally half-filled with frozen Iceland desserts and unhealthy stuff (courtesy of a diabetic parent!!!) I've decided not to bother.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a shame because I was looking forward to it lol
I love how much homemade items you've been putting together though :)
