Handmade gifts

I have decided that I am going to 
ATTEMPT
to make lots of handmade things for Christmas this year.

I have already accomplished 50% of a HUGE gift and I am so excited to be able to share it. 
However, I won't be able to do that until Christmas because it is for someone in my family and a few of my siblings and even my dad reads this blog!
I am beyond excited about it and feel so very proud of myself! 
Here is a sneak peek.

Now the other night I was browsing Pinterest for some gift inspiration.
I came across this blog

Mommy's Idea

after seeing this pin


GORGEOUS!
I think I can whip one up pretty quickly for my sisters.
Heck, I may sew one for myself!
If you go at the right time, Walmart always has sheer fabric on sale for $1.00/yd 
This tutorial calls for 2 yards. 
Cheap and super easy gift.
Plus, didn't I mention it was gorgeous?

Once I get the fabric bought and start on them I will be sure to post about it.
I have to head out and grab more thread though, as my big project has quickly gone through a whole spool.
