Handmade Gifts

Handmade Gifts

I have several goals in life that I try to take steps toward accomplishing daily.

One of those goals is to one day make all of the gifts that I give to my family and friends.

I'm not saying that I will not also be giving store bought gifts but I would like to at least be able to give handmade gifts when possible.

I suppose that some of it is because my ultimate goal is to have and sustain a little homestead right here on my little plot of dirt.

I want to learn how to make small batches of soaps, can jams and jellies, and to make jewelry. Along with the quilting, sewing, knitting, and crochet that I do now.

This year I am crocheting sets of coasters 

and I am presently looking for pet treat recipes as part of my "Handmade Christmas" goals.

Do you like handmade gifts?

These coasters are a simple crocheted circle and are perfect for any glass or mug on any table top.

Each set will contain 4 coasters

I will be making a few other gifts as well this year but I haven't reached my goal of being able to give handmade gifts to everyone on my list just yet.

Maybe next year but if not ...

One day for certain.
