Handmade Pressies

This last Christmas I got a bit fed up with all the same old, same old in the shops and thought people would appreciate something that I'd made myself and that no-one else would have.  It was also a lot easier than trawling around the crowded shops in the snow.

I meant to show you my handmade Christmas pressies much earlier but somehow I ran out of time and didn't even manage to take any pictures of any of the things I made before I had to wrap them up and give them out. I had to ask my brother to pictures of the little bag I made for his girlfriend.  I was quite pleased with it.  He took the pictures with his camera phone so they are not amazing but I'm grateful that he found the time to do it for me.

 I put little turquoise beads on the handle

The colours of the bag are chocolate brown, pale cream and duck egg blue.  100% cotton.

He didn't manage to take a picture of what the bag looks like closed but it has a drawstring and it the top is all frilly when it pulled together.

I really enjoyed making this bag and can see myself making a little family of them quite soon.

Yay me, I now have more than 50 followers - Thank you everyone Xx  This means that my next post will be a giveaway.  I have some nice goodies for you and I hope you will take part.  I should have the post ready in just a day or two so make sure you look in on me soon :)
