Blatantly showing off my home made Christmas presents
Permalink Closed

I decided to get all crafty this year and make a few x-mas presents. 


First, the sock puppies.  I got the instructions from Martha Stewart's magazine and I made three (well, four actually, but one was so ugly I didn't dare give it to anyone.  )  The first one went to Mikacat's daughter, Camille, and the second and third ones went to my cousins:



I also made my brother-in-law who recently moved here a stocking.  It's quite festive:



I sewed every one of those sequins on individually (I am crazy).  I sewed real ornament hooks on and I stuffed a few of the ornaments with batting so it would be a bit more three dimensional.

Aww...thanks ladies!  I was really tickled with the way it all turned out. 


Farrah--I don't see the instructions for the sock dogs on MS's website.  I'd type out the instructions for you, but I don't think it would make any sense at all without pictures.  I got the instructions from her holiday gift magazine.  If it's not on newsstands still, I could photocopy the instructions and send them to you.  Let me know.  There are a lot of other cool projects for kids on her site too:  http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=learn-cat&id=cat411&navLevel=4&navHistory=cat2%2Bcat242%2Bcat266&site=
