month since last post: the gift roundup
Monday, January 7th, 2008Merry Craftsmas to you all! It was fun, but I am glad it is over now!
Ended up crafting almost all of the gifts. If the gifts were not crafted, most had some sort of made-in-the USA craft influence. For instance, we got Ty’s father a Sailor Jerry Tattoo art book, and we had a picture blown up and framed for my father and brother.
My sister even topped-off “Craftsmas” by bringing blank shirts, acrylic paint, and freezer paper to do freezer paper screen-printing. The pictures of those shirts are to follow.
Here’s one of the finished gifts…A sun hat for my mother who really likes floppy sunhats. This one isn’t very floppy. It was my first experience with fusible interfacing, and a valuable technique for when I decide to make my derby hat.
She didn’t realize I made the hat until I pointed it out. As a former Home Econ teacher, she gave it an A+!
