[Nfb-krafters-korner] What Crafty Gifts Are You Making.

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I am making bracelets for 2 of my sisters, a friend and 2 nieces.  I also have a friend who has very little money, so I made a bracelet for her to give to her daughter-inlaw.  
I am making a clean/dirty sign for the dish washer for a Christmas gift and one as a birthday gift.  
I have one more bracelet to make and a few items to wrap and I am done.

Happy Holidays.
Terry

I am knitting a hat for each girl I teach at school.  That is only two.  I used the Quaker ribbed knit pattern.  I am also knitting a scarf.  I haven't had much time for crafting this fall.
