My Homemade Christmas

By: Meradeth Houston on 10:35 AM

So, whatever gods decided to have my revisions and final grades due at the same time clearly hates me :) Anyhow, in lieu of a better blog post I thought I'd share some pics of the little things I've been making as Christmas gifts this year. I have a bakers dozen worth of nieces and nephews, along with a bunch of other people I generally get gifts for, and well, it's a little hard on the pocketbook this year. So, I've been getting my craft on and making a few things. See:

Wrap bracelets that are oh-so-simple and I've been making in a million colors.

Scrabble tile necklaces. 

Another tile--not the best pic, but one of my favorites. 

I learned how to make these accordion-style notebooks in Japan and I use them for everything now.  They are basically just a blank book. 

Floral hair-clips.

Wire-wrapped rings--all kinds of colors and patterns.

Mexican Hot Chocolate mix I made from scratch. Super tasty and is a fun gift (at least, I think so!).

I may be more than a little nuts attempting to do more homemade things this year, but it's been fun!
