One thing I really enjoyed about this Christmas was all the fun gifts I got to make. Right, MAKE. I'm telling you, if you have a crafty bone in your whole body, its the way to go.
This one, to the left, I made for my Grandmama. It's just basic paint on canvas. If you use a sponge, you can make the canvas look like wood. (I figured that out on accident, I'm not that artistic.) The one below I made for my sister, Rebekah. It is a verse from Proverbs 31. I loved this one, it was one of my favorites. I also, finally, got my mom's old sewing machine set up in my room. I was super pumped about this! Rebekah and I used it so much in the first few days that I had to wind a couple of bobbins and she broke the needle, so we had to get a new one of those. I must say, my sewing skills aren't all I thought they would be. Sewing is no easy task. My first project was a camera strap for my new camera that I got on Black Friday with Joseph (yay! it took the best pictures over the break!) I was going for a quilted look... and well, whatever. It looks good in the picture, but up close its kind of ragged, I need more practice I suppose.
