I am still solidly in vacation mode! But I can finally share a lot of the presents I made and gave this holiday season. First up is a lot of indigo dyeing! I dyed underwear for my 17 year old nephew, and scarves for nieces and sister-in-laws:
Bryce absolutely LOVED his underwear, his mom said it was his favorite present!
Next up were pillows! My niece Karyssa has graduated from college and moved into her first apartment. When she posted pix of her apartment on Facebook I noticed she was missing color, so I sat down with her at the wedding I went to in November and had her choose colors and motifs for a pair of pillows.
And my newly married nephew Ryan and his wife Kaitlin are totally jeans kinda people:
so I knew a pair of indigo dyed linen pillows would be right up their alley. I stitched their names and wedding date on one of them, so Ryan has no excuse to forget their anniversary date!
Last up is a lot of baby clothes for Lincoln, the third baby born to our niece Flannery. He’s almost in 6 month clothes now, so I dyed 3 pants and 6 long sleeve rompers in size 6 month, and then another 3 pair of pants and six short sleeve rompers in size 12 month for this summer. Of course, baby sox are pretty much 1 size fit all, so 6 of those as well, and then a couple of flannel blankies are useful for all sorts of the things. I get all these baby blanks from Dharma Trading and am always very happy with the quality.
I made 2 more presents, but will give them their own post because there’s more details I want to share about those!
