{ A handmade Christmas }

This past Saturday I went to a Christmas Party (The first of the season) and it was wonderful. The company was lovely (as always) the treats were delicious, the Christmas Carols beautiful and the laughter plentiful! Every year us ladies get together and have a good old fashioned secret santa gift exchange, this year we thought it would be fun to give handmade gifts and it was! I didn't really know what to make so I hopped on Pinterest and and found a fabulous tutorial from Etsy for a ruffled decorative pillow. Although the process was quite labour intensive, I finished the pillow and was very happy with the results! I hope to make some additional handmade gifts this year, I just hope I have time. Are you making any handmade gifts this year?

I am always raving about Pinterest, it is so amazing that I am slightly afraid that one day it will up and vanish only to be a faded memory of something really special. The amount of inspiration and lovliness that is found there is eye candy for any creative soul, I think that we are so lucky to be able to experience such a creative outlet, well done Pinterest! I especially love looking at things for babies, anything baby really.

Today I found such a lovely tutorial for the sweetest headbands ever! They are just so beautiful. Not only are they easy peasy to make for your little one, but they make great baby shower gifts too! The possibilities are endless.
