It has been a very long time since I have played Fun Monday but Jill made it next to impossible to resist. She asked us to share our experiences homemade gifts. . .
This is the third year I've made our Christmas cards, people seem to like them. I love to paper craft! This year I just made this one design and it was pretty quick. Now I need to actually mail them, lol.
My mom often makes quilts and as you can see with my grandson, they are huge hits!
One of my blogger friends,
Snowcatcher, shares a new crocheted snowflake pattern, of her own design, every single Monday. I have not crocheted since I was a wee girl, with my grandma. These snowflakes have kicked my butt! It took me hours of trying to just get simply
one to not look like a chaotic knot of thread, lol. I was determined to make a few for people I thought would appreciate them. After about 3 hours of attempts I finally got one lopsided flake. I kept going and I have now made 9, none are perfect like Snowcatcher's, but I am hoping the people I share them with will simply appreciate that I tried, and tried, and I was thinking of them the entire time or I would have given up. {If you feel like you read this part before it's because you did, I posted about the snowflake a few days ago in my cancer daily posts but it fit so well here I posted it again.}
