Handmade Gifts
It's going to be a handmade Christmas this year in our home. We're a little short on cash (who isn't these days) and I have a huge stash of fabric in my closet. I saw this adorable fabric bucket on Lotta Jansdotter's site and thought I'd try it out. They'll make great gifts and can be used for just about anything. I'm not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination, but I can sew a strait line and do some minor pattern making. So, here are some of the gifts I'll be stitching up this year.

...and since I'm using a lot of up-cycled materials to make green gifts, I might as well save some money on the wrapping too. I've got lots of brown paper bags and a stack of old copies of The Times lying around. They'll be perfect for wrapping supplies.
