    I'm making a fairy skirt for my niece. Rather than trying to make it fit her perfectly I decided to do it ballet wrap skirt style so it'll be full length on her now (6 months) but it can grow with her for a few years.

    White tulle underskirt, then red pendant tulle on a green satin ribbon to go over. I can make different overskirts to go with the white underskirt so she can have different ones to play around with through the year.

    Her mum (and dad) make us little gift boxes of goodies every year that are quite delicious. I've told them to never ever give me the recipe for the brownies because I'd likely become exceedingly fat.

    I'm a big fan of handmade, but I never celebrated xmas till I got married so I suppose I might be easier to please

    I ended up buying a 3 piece drinking glasses set from Red Dot for $2 and doing their initials in different colors in lead lighting for them 1 for MIL (SJB), 1 for FIL (SMB) and 1 for BIL (CEB) and I LOVED how they turned out
    I can't upload the photos to Facebook till after Christmas cause they'd know who they were for (unless I upload them into my BB locked file )
