Thank you for your support Easter is late this year, so there is still time to whip up some of these bow ties that I told you about a couple of years ago! I almost forgot how cute they came out! I thought I would repost them today so you can get started. It seems like it is so much easier to do sewing for my granddaughters than for my grandsons. So, this year for Easter, I decided to make my grandsons bow ties! I found a cute, easy pattern on House of Ideas. Seriously, I whipped these up in one short afternoon! Of course, the fun part is finding the fabric to make them out of. I was able to get 3 ties out of 1 fat quarter. I didn't realize that would happen, so of course I purchased way too much fabric! Oh well! Walmart has some adorable fat quarters to choose from that are only under $1.00! That makes these ties pretty reasonable. Add your thread and a package of Velcro and you are ready to go. When I was picking out fabric, I kept scrunching it into a bow shape to get the idea of how it would look as a tie. It was fun. No wonder I now have enough fabric for 10 more ties! *One tip, when you are cutting our your ties, be sure of the direction of the fabric. I kept struggling with the shark fabric to get those sharks swimming in the right direction. It isn't really that hard, you just need to be mindful. So, if you are looking for something quick, simple and adorable to make for your grandsons, (or sons) I hope you like this idea!

In our family, we love handmade gifts. I actually peruse and search throughout the year for things that I can make that my family members and friends will love. We have shared a bunch of ideas over the years of our blogging lifetime. I've gone back and found 30 of my favorites to put on this list at your fingertips so that with a click you can find great idea after great idea to gift to your own family and friends.
I've divided these gifts into 6 categories: wood, sewing, crafts, food, home & personal, and computer generated. There is something for anyone at any skill level to make!

Thank you for your support. Finally! I sat at my sewing machine and finished my denim projects! First of all, I decided that I wanted to make a zippered pouch that can be used for holding school supplies or as a make-up bag, or whatever you would like to use a zippered pouch for. I have never made one and didn't have a pattern, so I just thought about it and figured out in my head how to make it work. Then, I decided to add some color to it and line it with vinyl to make it easy to clean. Click on the pictures to get the directions. Supplies:
