These first 2 things are gifts I made for an expectant mother. She has since had her baby and really enjoyed both gifts. The first was a blanket and the second was a diaper pouch. Though this is her second child she did not have a diaper pouch and was very excited about it.
These next couple are the Valentines I made for my sons school and the Valentine gift I made for the DH and my parents. I know your probably wondering why I'm bothering to post these since it's quite late but the Valentine I made for his teachers could be used any time and what I made for the DH and my parents could easily be altered for an easy birthday gift, thank you, or just because!
The valentines for the kids.
These are what I made for both of his teachers. That's the lotion hand sanitizer in between and I will say they were very happy with this! Would be a great little teacher appreciation gift, or beginning/end of school gift.
And finally this is the cookie bouquet I made. It seemed like it should be simple but turned into quite the project that almost didn't get finished in time! I bought plain terra cotta pots and had my son paint them. I filled them with floral foam (styrofoam, gravel, sand will work too) and tied a ribbon around it. I made and decorated some cookies and rice crispy pops. The rice crispy treats were very easy but one little tidbit I learned is that you should make them a day ahead so they have time to firm up. The ones in the DH's bouquet fell off the stick but the one's on my parents were fine (they were delivered next day). This was very easy minus the cooking faux pas we had and makes a great anytime gift!
I really am getting the sewing bug again, and hopefully some time to fulfill it, so more posts to come soon!
