and so we did. we cut, and glued, and hammered, and sewed we took on christmas. and christmas took us on. we canceled plans with peeps so we could stay home and craft. I counted my blessings that this year I made cards on shutterfly instead of creating 30 christmas cards by hand. and we CRAFTED.
some projects went smoothly...others not so much...there were even some that were created down to the wire. I taught nick to sew as he created clothing for his pinecone elves, my dad and I bonded as we questioned whether my idea for my marble cutting boards came from bob villa.com and begged me to do a knitting project next year. but our crafty christmas came together and was delightful
I made:
etched bike glasses for my dad
beaded necklaces for claires, emily, my mom, and nick's mom
woven bracelets for claires, emily, lindsey, and kerry
reinbeer for my brother and for joey and ashley
dr seuss inspired trees for anyone who would take one (i have more if you're interested)
Dino etched glass for nick
a guster big friend for emily and nick
bath products for my mom and elizabeth
marble cutting boards for mom, emily, tim and elizabeth, claires and ME!
a book bird for claires
an etched READ glass for claires
etched celtic knot glasses for nick's mom (there was an ND glass for nick's dad too...oops forgot!)
and a book necklace for claires
we may already be crafting for christmas 2012.
