Jeremy and I have three nieces who absolutely love to play dress up. As I previously posted, I made tutus for them, using elastic and pieces of tulle to make the skirt. I then took some eyeshadow and blush compacts, removed the makeup, and replaced the makeup with pieces of color foam. I made them little bags to put the makeup in, along with some jewelry that I found at the dollar store. Here is a picture of the play makeup.
I will post pictures of the finished tutus soon!
For our nephew, I made a quiet book. I was inspired by this blog, and used a lot of her tips and templates to help me create one for Noah. I'm really happy without it turned out.
This is the second year where my cousins picked names for a secret Santa. This year, I got my cousin Lena. I bought her a little bag from Vera Bradley and made her a scarf using some great flannel fabric that I got on sale at Joann Fabrics. Here is a picture of Lena showing off her new scarf!
For my sisters-in-law, I made them primitive-style bowl fillers. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of them. For my mother-in-law, I made her a table runner and six placemats for her dining room table. Again, I didn't get a picture of the final product because I was working on this up to the very last minute! I made the runner and placemats like a rag quilt, very similar to the set I made for a benefit, which I previously posted pictures.
For my mom and sister, I did not make them anything; however, I will be making some special for my sister who will be getting married in September. And I plan on making my mom somethings for her newly renovated dining and living rooms. Stay tuned!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year. I'm hoping 2010 will be a much better one for me and my family!
