We just got home from a very fun Christmas Eve at my in-laws house. Their grandkids (my nieces and nephews) are sure spoiled!!! We ate Mexican food and tons of deseserts. Very good times.
As you know, I've made a lot of gifts this year...I'll share with you a few.
I made my oldest niece two pillows for her room. She has a "rock 'n roll" room and I thought she could use some cute pink glitter skull pillows (backed with pink polka dots on black fabric). She LOVED them!
I also gave some people some of my newly fired pottey:
BTW...my first glaze firing was a success! My witness cone (see this post if you have no idea what I'm talking about) curled over perfectly, which means my kiln fired to temperature. This is very exciting for me! I am actually set to do another glaze fire on Saturday. Pray that one goes as well. According to my Skutt kiln manual, "firing ceramics in your kiln is easier than baking a pie in your oven!"
I have also made other gifts, but I cannot post about them yet as a few people have not yet received them from me. I promise pictures of them later!
I've also been busy making crafty things. I successfully completed two pom pom wreaths (talked about here).
My favorite goofballs were great models. The mostly cream and white one I gifted to a friend...she added her own touch to it - send me a pic, girl! The larger one I kept for myself as those are my "colors" and hung it on my curtain rod:
I have two more wreaths to make...not sure if I have enough yarn. These are actually very easy. I think the hardest part for me was picking out what yarn to buy (I've never bought yarn in my life!)!
This year I did something new with my Christmas cards...I punched holes in them and hung them on a string of twine.
Anyway...this is kinda a rundown of what I've been up to the last two weeks. I plan to do nothing tomorrow but relax and eat and watch football!
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
