First up, a couple of Reading pillows for my nieces. These are huge pillows, 18" square, with a pocket on the front to tuck your book into and a handle for carrying. I suspect I'll be making three more for my own kids.
I didn't have another pillow form on this one, so it didn't get a formal photo shoot, dang it.
Then for my sister-in-law, this gorgeous pillow, if I do say so myself:
And another for my BFF:
Which is a lot squarer than it looks, but since most of my photo shoots turn out like this, you're lucky to see it at all:
For our other niece, I made another one of the plaid purses:
Totally crappy picture there, but at this point I was lucky to take one at all.
Then for the grandparents, I made photo canvases, using the tutorial found here:
Sorry, I failed to take a picture of them completely dry. They turned out GREAT. Unlike the tutorial, I added another layer of mod podge on top at the end.
We also made salt dough ornaments, but the only picture I took was this one, with Pajama Boy, Spiderman, and the Pantsless Wonder:
They turned out about as well as you'd expect with that crew.
And for the Pirate's Christmas party, some Brownie Trees:
And last, some Christmas sewing NOT by me- a Christmas dress made by my grandmother, at least 30 years ago:
Really, I should try to take a nice formal picture of that one, but who are we kidding?
You were creative and busy! I love the reading pillows!!
ReplyDeleteThe reading pillows are SOOOO cute!!! Love it all.
ReplyDeleteHow you find time to do all you do amazes me. Love the gifts you made. The pictures are the most special, tho. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I love those pillows!!! Easy to make? Ruffles scare me. Ok, so anything that is not block piecing scares me. And even piecing I'm not great at because I'm impatient and move too quickly. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of Mod Podge. There's like 10 million kinds at hobby lobby (matte finish?)
Oh and the Brownies. And the READ pillow. And the princess sleeping on the couch. Sorry--got distracted by Mod Podge momentarily...
