[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: Are you crafting gifts for the holidays?

[River Woman]

I have made some bowls (pottery) for gifts. Last year, I gave two or three 
pieces of pottery to each of my children for christmas. I will give them 
knitted dish cloths, in the basketweave pattern, to match the bowls.

I bought all the women in the family (daughters, grand daughters) some 
fabulous  slippers on sale after Christmas last year and will give them this 
year. The slippers were  $60. but after Christmas I got them for $29. 
on-line. I planned ahead and picked up this bargain  after Christmas.

I will give some gift certificates for yarn and craft supplies to the 
daughters/grand daughters who would like to receive them. Then they can pick 
out what they want, and after Christmas they can get lots more for their 
dollars.

There will be lots of hand crafted items being given out by family members 
at Christmas. Two of my daughters and one grand-dau;ghter are artsy/crafty 
like me and my husband are and we love to make things for others and receive 
hand made gifts, too.
