Even though we're still a couple of weeks away from Christmas (thank God!), I can show off a few of the gifts I made. They're for my grandma and step-grandma and since my mom provides the internet access, I trust she won't show off these gifts prematurely. At least she better now!
When I made my mom's jewelry roll over the summer, I also made one for my grandma. She travels around to visit family fairly often and I figured she'd get a lot of use out of a jewelry roll. You know, to hold all that jewelry I've made for her over the past several years.
Of course, I also had to make her some jewelry - a necklace and some earrings - to go along with it which I finished up over the weekend. It's all rolled up and ready to make its way down to Florida.
My mom liked hers so much that she commissioned me to make one for my step-grandma. Hers is the one on the right. We picked out the fabric during a shopping trip last month and even though it's not Christmas fabric, I discovered it goes great with some of my actual Christmas fabrics. I can't wait to use the scraps for some Christmas projects. Not that I have any particular projects in mind or time to make them this Christmas season but it'll show up in a project one day!
And, while I was at it, I decided to go ahead and make one for myself since I never have anywhere to keep my jewelry when I travel.
Yay for crossing projects off the list!

Those are SOOO cute! I am working on finishing up the ONLY two gifts that I am sewing for gifts and BOY, are they giving me a fit :(
I made about five of these at the beginning of the year and everyone has loved receiving them!
I saved one and someone is receiving one as a December birthday present. It's really such a nifty gift to make. As always, I LOVE your fabric choices!
Thanks ladies!
