You finally get to see it. We had our very last Christmas-family gathering yesterday.
Here is what I gifted this year for Christmas.

What a lot of thought, effort and love went into those homemade Christmas gifts! AND a lot of your time. I hope all recipients appreciate that.
Mama Pea, I hope so. I put a lot of thought into each family's gift. I know my older brother loved his scrubbies, and gave him a few extra for their camper. I did not gift as much as I normally do, which is odd considering I had less garden work over summer. I think this year I'll be more on "track" with making gifts.
I love home crafted gifts, so much more thought goes into them, I did all crafted gifts this last christmas and will do the same again this year, teenage boys I find the hardest to craft for :-)
Dawn, I know what you mean about boys. I tend to think of tools or something to hold tools, or something related to their hobbies. There are many things to make from wood too.
Beautiful gifts! I would like one of each please! LOL! I had scrubbies on my list but never got to them. Great job and lucky recipients!
Sam I am, those scrubbies in the photo use 20 feet of 3 inch wide netting. They are thick and very nice.
Your stitch work on those towels is wonderful - so are the colors! Lucky family!
Susan, thanks. I used some threads that I won from Kim's blog giveaway to make some of them too.
All very useful and lovely gifts. How's the scrubby made?
God bless.
