Playing Santa

This year for Christmas I wanted to do something a little more meaningful, so I made homemade gifts for my nieces and nephew.

It was so much fun and so much more fulfilling that just buying something.

I found some great patterns that helped to get my creative juices flowing, and now that my fingers are numb and my back is kinked, I am finished!

I can't wait to see all of their reactions to their handmade gifts!

I got the pattern & tutorial for this seahorse here

I found the pattern for this here, but it was for a dog that I turned into a Bull.

I got this awesome pattern & tutorial here.

This was so much fun and easy!

I used this pattern for the kitty.

My inspiration this zebra came from here.

I bought this pattern here.  It was so much fun and I learned so many new things.

I also added yarn eyes and a ribbon around his neck before I gave it as a baby gift to my friend.

I would love to be directed to more fun handmade gift sites if you know of any.

So, what's the verdict?

Do you think the kids will be happy this year?
