Homemade holiday gifts that are cheap, easy and fun to make!
Here's where homemade holiday gifts come into play. Making a gift by hand allows you to give inexpensively while exponentially adding meaning and quality to every gift you give. All the love and creativity you put into making a present makes it priceless.
................................. Look at What's New!  An absolutely lovely (and inexpensive) gift to make and give to a little one in your life is a soft baby book made from felt. This book is perfect for slipping in the diaper bag to entertain a baby during a day trip or a long wait in a line up. Moms and tots a like will treasure the friendly farm animals and the embroidered details that you put on each page.
 The eight-page pattern book includes the pieces for five farm animals: a sheep, cow, pig, horse and a duck as well as a 'Stitchery Garden' that illustrates how to make a straight stitch, a lazy daisy stitch and a french knot. The Stitchery Garden also includes step-by-step instructions on how to make all of the embroidered details included in my sample book.
 It was really exciting to come up with this pattern and I know that I will be using the pattern pieces again. I plan on using appliqueing the sheep onto a plain skirt of my daughter's.
You could also purchase this pattern and some felt for a new mom and give it as a holiday gift. Mom will love the chance to make such a cute book for her kiddo!

Let's face it; the economy has us all tightening our belts. But that doesn't mean we have to get stingy with our giving - it just means we have to get more creative with our giving!
