A DIY Christmas

 Now that Christmas is over, I can post all the things I made and handed out as gifts.  The coasters seemed to go over well as did the salt dough ornament tags.  I think my favorite was the Santa wine bottle covers and etched wine glasses.  I hope everyone liked their DIY gifts!

Most of all I had a really good time getting together with family for the pinterest parties and creating most of these crafts.   It was fun bonding, cooking, eating, crafting and trying new things.  I think I am in need of another pinterest party soon!

Stay put dish towels.

Pretty proud of myself after my latest crafting project! When my mom said she wanted dish towels for Christmas (because she is so practical) I thought OK. I got this. I've previously made these "fancy pants kitchen towels" for myself and thought mom would like these. So while browsing at Wal-Mart I found these so ugly they are cute dish towels and had an epiphany to make some retro style stay put dish towels.  I created one and was quite pleased with myself, but then I got a new sewing/embroidery machine had the bright idea to embroider her name on them!
