I wanted to share a bit more of what I created for those lucky gift receivers out there. I realize that I am probably giving some things away for parts of my family, but I’ll take my chances.

For my often hard to shop for brother, I got him these rockin’ mustash pint glasses, by Bread and Badger. I figure even if he doesn’t appreciate them, my sister-in-law and the kids will love them.

For said sis-in-law, I went with a suggestion from Becky over at Hello Craft and went with Calometry. I should have checked the forums first and went with their suggestions the first time around. The second try came out much better. I’ll have to knit one up for myself.

So I’m starting my list and I’m checking it twice. It’s holiday time and as always I’m going to have me a handmade holiday.

Call it a sickness, call it what you will, but I will be making most, if not all of my gifts this year. Just like every year. The ones that I don’t create myself, I hope to purchase other handmade items, made by other crafters that are amazing at what they do.

I have a good idea about what I want to make everyone and or get for everyone. I think that half the fun of the whole gift giving thing is figuring out the perfect present for each individual person.

First up my step-niece and nephew. I’m pretty sure my nephew is going to be getting this pretty sweet pirate chest. It has a secret compartment for hiding all that awesome loot.

As far as my niece, I’m thinking of doing a t-shirt iron on. Something about the Twilight series I believe would be appropriate.

I’ll keep you all updated to my progress, while trying to keep some of the gifts secret for those looky-loos who might frequent my musings.
