Christmas gifts

I had set myself such a big goal of handmaking  as many gifts as possible for Christmas gifts this year....I wanted to share a couple with you.....
A DELUXE FORT KIT...
I had so much fun using these from my stash and turning them into fort kits for my nieces and nephews. I used this tutorial and just made changes to suit my supplies and personalise them for the kids...


On my list of pressies was also these ,these and a new thing I tried..
Zippered purses (that I completely forgot to photograph)

and one of these and 


This for Meg's bed so she doesn't have to climb down or throw things down.....
(don't mind the unmade bed)
I have such a long list of "to try " things that I am sure I will have a whole heap of other ideas for next year.

Oh my gosh, you have so many fabulous ideas. I'm totally going to remember those fort kits and we could totally use that bedside bag for my daughter bunk bed. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.
