Holiday Gift Creations

I managed to create a few Christmas gifts before the early December interruption of foundation repairs to our home 

Do you like them?

Laurie's sweet thank you gift... you gotta see this!

Not that it is ever necessary or expected, but you gotta love a 'thank you' gift especially when it is as sweet as the gift Laurie sent me!

She layered various fabrics and sewed them to create a cuff bracelet and adorned it with lace ties and buttons.... C U T E !

I tried wrapping the lace around the buttons on the edge like an inter-office envelope, but that did not hold.  Then I attempted to wrap the lace around my wrist & tie it, but the strips of lace were not long enough to reach.

I was so embarrassed to ask, but I had to ask Laurie how to wear it.  Her reply was to 'tie' the lace around each of the edge buttons.  How silly of me not to realize that I could tie them.

(Too bad there is a pile of shirts in the background of this photo - cleaning out closets)

Laurie you are a sweetheart - thank you so much for my darling cuff!
