Is it just me or does January always seem like a wasteland? By the time I finish playing catch up, it's March already. Anyway. We didn't have a completely handmade Christmas but I did manage to squeeze in a few things. A 5-CD case for a special friend. Just the right size to keep your favorite songs within easy reach in the studio.
Some patchwork potholders, coasters, and crochet dishcloths for my mom:
A simple garter stitch scarf for my littlest girl. She got to pick out her own yarn. So grown up....
And birds in trees for the 12 Days of Xmas swap:
I also made t-shirts for some guy friends but forgot to take pictures. They've asked me to make more so I'll post the next batch when they're ready. I actually still have two more gifts to go but I'm not getting too stressed about it. I figure a handmade Valentine gift is just as good as a Christmas one, right? Next up: playing with spray paint!
I love the cd holder....and big brother in the background of the scarf picture. :)

I loved the cd holder! :) I have yet to put any of my own in it but its hanging my craft desk because I just love to look at it.
The potholders etc are awesome too! You have always been so creative! Like when you roped me into scrapbooking shabby chic. Remember?

love the patchwork pot holders!!!
I'm trying to get as much as I can this month and next, my baby is due in March... so I am sure going to think "where did time go?"
