101 Handmades + - Getting In the Christmas Groove




I have been quiet for the last week or two working away on a project I can't openly discuss just yet.  Now it's time to get into the Christmas groove.......

I see it's just a couple of days until the beginning of December and no doubt many of you are thinking about what to make, if not already feverishly working on presents or looking up ideas for seasonal decor and paper arts for gift giving.
One of my favourite online sites is Etsy because of it's emphasis on " hand made".  The folks at "Everything Etsy" have compiled several tutorials and ideas for Christmas creating and giving. I have listed 6 URLS  below for your viewing pleasure:

Well, there you have it - 606 items to give you food for thought and creative inspiration. I know they are not all textile related but you stitchers are a very talented lot and will no doubt find many of the tutorials useful in appeasing your artistic endeavours in other areas.
I hope you enjoy the offerings and find something you can create or have some fun with.  Thanks to all the generous artists for their tutorials and stimulating ideas and a big shout out to Everything Etsy for compiling these lists for our pleasure and convenience.
