handmade for the holidays #3

So here are the few items I made for the holidays that I haven't shown you thus far. I made headbands for the women who work for us here at Tranquilo Bay. They are reversible which you may or may not be able to tell from the photo. I was inspired by several different places - Amy Karol's book Bend the Rules Sewing, KC Quilts, Pink Chalk Studio, and a post on House on Hill Road that I can't seem to find right now.



My camera's focus seems to be on the fritz so I apologize for the hazy nature of the photo.

I made Boty, Tres and Scott a pencil or crayon roll to keep their coloring materials organized. Otherwise they all seem to get lost in the mix. Here are a couple of pictures of the rolls I made for Boty and Tres.



Then I made some pajama pants for the kids with Jolly Old Saint Nick enjoying the different sports we have around here at Tranquilo Bay. They of course loved having Santa Claus pajamas. Boty and Tres are still wearing them this month - and will probably do so for the remainder of the year.

I also made notebook covers for some of the nieces and nephews. Headbands for some of the younger nieces, a purse for Boty and a couple of dolls for her to carry in her purse. I didn't take pictures of all of these things, but I had a great time making them.
