Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle

In order to get all the handmade gifts ready by Christmas, I really need to have them planned out, supplies purchased and ready to go by the end of August.

One year I made everyone tied flannel blankets for everyone
Another year I crocheted scarves
Another year I made jewelery
Then there was the year of the cross stitch

The Little Man has even joined in on the fun!

Love gifting my creativity!
