It's still January for a few more days so I thought I'd be okay to finally share the last few things I made for my faraway family for Christmas. We went to Colorado a couple of weeks after Christmas so I saved my presents to give then. It has been years since I've watched these family members open presents. It was so fun.
I made my sister some Room Shoes. These were actually a birthday present. ;/ Thankfully we are all very accepting of late handmade gifts in our family.
For her Christmas present I made her a Girlfriend clutch with Fabric she picked our from a set I won when we were at Quilt Market.
For my dad who is a big Bronco fan, I made potholders. He had declared a few weeks earlier that they needed some new ones. I made a couple of them in Bronco colors and then I couldn't resist sewing one up from my herringbone block leftovers.
I made a purse for my mom to replicate one that she loves. That purse deserves a post of it's own. I'm wiating for some pictures of it for my sister. Since I finished it while I was in CO and didn't get to photograph it before I left. It deserves a post of it's own anyway but here's a little preview of the materials I used.
My sister made me this cute running armband so can run with my phone. She used this tutorial.
And my mom painted me a picture of the beautiful poppies that bloom in her flower garden in the summer. Now I can have them to look at all year long? I love them Mom! I'm so excited to have real art work in my house. It sits above my sewing table for now until I can get it a proper frame.
My mom is so talented. She can do anything!
Your entire family is so talented!! I love that poppy painting by your mom. Really beautiful.
