Christmas stuff

I am aspiring to make Christmas gifts this year instead of the all out gorgefest of shopping that usually happens about this time. Ugh! You know what I am talking about. At the beginning of December you realize that Christmas is a few days away and you have nothing!! So you run out in a rush and buy something for everyone you know. A few days before Christmas you realize you either a. forgot someone or b. they have completely changed their lifestyle since last and are no longer into that. 

This year I am making kitchen sets
 for the 2 SILs (the black/white one on the left belongs to Jackie b/c her house is done in zebra prints, cheetah prints, peacock feather, etc.) and my MIL (I am safe saying this b/c they don't read my blog and wouldn't know how to find it if they knew about it—not a computer literate one in the bunch!) that include two towels, two dish cloths, two sponges, and some coasters. I will make a Santa hat toilet paper topper for each one of them if I get the pattern in time (they will get it next year if not this year). Why? Because they all go all out decorating for Christmas and this would be the perfect gift!! hehe!

For Jamie I am making the throw in sunburst colors. Her mom is getting a couple of Christmas trees because she also decorates and the ones I am making are perfect for a table topper. I'll have to post a picture when I get finished.
