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

[Dixie]

I am going to make 2 of those beaded lighted Christmas trees.  One for my
daughter and the other for us.  I am also going to finish making the mini
sweater ornaments to give to my sister in laws for Christmas.  I need to
find some nice Christmas motif ceramic beads for them.  The sweaters are
solid in color, a cranberry color.  Then I want to attach to the front of
them a wreath or Christmas tree button as the design on the sweater.  I am
then going to make little wire hangers for them so they can hang on the
tree.  The hangers are hopefully going to be colorful and look like a little
clothes hanger.

I then need to get some nice beads and make several beaded snowflakes.

I just love making Christmas ornaments.  On our tree it is about 95 percent
homemade ornaments.  My mother in law used to make ornaments each year for
each of the kids and give them out at Thanksgiving.  I so very much wanted
to continue her tradition when she was unable to do so.  This group has made
that dream a possibility!  So, my Thanksgiving thank you goes out to this
wonderful group of crafters and instructors who have helped me realize a
dream of mine that I thought was lost!
