My handmade holiday
I didn’t make as many gifts this year as I have in some years past but I did manage to get a few things done.
I haven’t managed to post about Steve’s wine making attempt this fall. Someday I’ll try to get him to sit down and help me type up a post about the process. He inherited his Italian grandfather’s grape press and it has been in our garden gazebo serving as an interesting conversation piece for a few years now. This year everything came together where he had the time, the motivation and the resources to make his own wine in the tradition of his Grandpa Vito.
A couple weekends ago it went from cask to bottle and last Saturday I helped him print up labels. Last night was our annual neighborhood Christmas Walk/Party. I made Holiday Tea Towels and used them to wrap bottles of wine to give as hostess gifts.
After the jump I’ll show you what I made for my Mom and my mother-in-law….
DON’T PEAK MOM!
This blue apron is for my Mom.
This one is for my mother-in-law.
Both are made with fabrics from Amy Butler’s Daisy Chain line. I just love them and may have to make myself Minerva one after the holidays. She was very excited to model these for me but was very disappointed when I took them off and told her they weren’t for her. I think the old gal deserves a pretty new apron for the new year.
