What are you going to make as quick little gifts you would like to share?

I am going to crochet some granny squares out of #10 cotton to be soaked in windex then air dryed. It has to be cotton thread or yarn. Once dryed in windex they make perfect eyeglass cleaner cloths. Don't wet just use. To give as gifts, I have the colored bridal bags to put them in & pretty colored tags to put names on!

What are you planing to make this year to give as gifts?

I am doing my usual. Making jewelry for all the gals on my list. They are also getting crocheted sache bags for their dresser drawers. The boys, well, none of them are much in the jewelry department, so I'm not sure about them. Great idea. Never though about being eyeglass cleaner cloths.

Key chains, money clips, business card holders... hmmm sunglass holders for the car? Just trying to think of something guys might want...

What a cool idea! I have never heard of that windex treatment trick. Great stocking stuffers.

For me, I'm creating lots of earrings, since all of my girlfriends want them. For the fellas, kids, and those who hate earrings ;), my original artwork is always a nice, unique choice.

Right now I'm working on some gocco prints, which are great, affordable options to gift original artwork. A nice alternative to the inkjet "giclee" prints, as they really show the hand of the artist. I handpainted the background of each print on vintage Fabriano cold-pressed watercolor paper. It's amazingly tactile!

Okay... blonde, old, and not feeling to well so can't think straight but body creams out of goat's milk? Really? Do we make it out of cow milk too? I am just surprised because I would think it would spoil is all. What am I missing here?
