Every year I make hand-crafted gifts for family. Each year it is usually something different, last year was hot pads for the kitchen. This year I have a different project in mind but I won’t say in case any of my family members are members of this site…I don’t want to spoil the surprise. My favorite patterns for holiday gift-giving are useful items that I can make and customize for each recipient. That way everyone gets the same amount of ‘love’ and energy but each one is still thoughtful and unique.
