............................ Grace's new shoes.............................
......Dylan's Pirate Monkey...................................................... Hollie's Rose Monkey.......
These are just some of the presents I have gave as gifts this year as I took the Handmade pledge everyone got at least one thing Handmade which I thought to start of with was going to be a little complicated but everyone was really happy with there gifts. Don't get me wrong I was still trailing the shops hunting for Transformers & a specific computer game thing! It would have been mayhem in my house if all they got was handmade toys, I don't think they would have been very happy with Santa if that was the case, Do you?, but they were over the moon with there new Monkeys. Dylan has never went to bed without Pirate Monkey, he has not got a very good imagination when it comes to names yet!. I think Hollie is happy with hers if she could just pull herself away from playing her game thing & listening to her music, Rose is sitting on her bed so I take it she does like her. Hollie has turned seven but I swear she is getting more like a teenager every day!. The gorgeous Monkeys were from a very talented seller on Etsy who sells the cutest rag dolls, cats, monkeys & if you are talented with a needle & thread she also sells the patterns for them so you could have a go at making them yourself, just click on this link to go to her shop http://bitofwhimsyprims.etsy.com/ . I also bought a really cute pair of baby shoes for my little niece Grace, who has the smallest feet I have ever seen!. They are so soft & cozy, my sister says they fit perfect so that was good because she has trouble trying to find shoes to fit her properly that look like little girl shoes. They were also from another talented seller on Etsy who has a beautiful selection of needle felted (my new past time) items from gorgeous baby shoes to Jewellery & Accessories. At the moment in her shop there is a beautiful pair of baby shoes that would be ideal for the spring so if you are looking for something special for yourself or your baby please click on this link & give her a little visit http://plumpuddingbyjenn/ . I better finish this of here as it is starting to look a bit like a novel, as my New Year resolution (one of them) is to keep up to date with my Blog I promise I will try to keep it & try to post at least 3 times a week, so I will be back to tell you about more of my purchases & about my new past time.

Hi! I have been slacking this year, so this is my first chance to get to read! I did the same thing you did, bought each person at least one handmade item. My people were all adults, but could you imagine the chaos if they didn't get their electronics, or movies! Everyone was happy with their handmades too!
