This year's, or rather, last year's handmade Christmas presents

Well... Christmas is over and a new year has begun... I guess I'm safe to put up pictures of some of the things I made for Christmas presents last year (it feels so funny to say last year about this Christmas...)
I made my mum and dad a quilted Christmas tree skirt. Well, that was what it was intended for... but I think my mum wanted to use it as a table cloth as well.... I guess it has many uses, so I'm happy for her to do as she wishes with it.

It was hard to catch the colours correctly, but you get an idea.

For my hubby's family (sister, brother, nieces, nephews, all with family) I made egg warmer hens. Some of them has been pictured before, so I'm not going to show them again.

For his brother and his sister I also added a bread basket with a quilted cloth that matched the egg warmer hens (I didn't make the basket though...or the egg cups...)

The blue and striped pin wheel basket cloth was for Per's sister and her hubby, and the red and blue flying geese cloth, for hubby's brother and his wife.

Here are the hens that went with the flying geese....!;)

I gave some other handmade things as well, but most of it has been picrued on my blog before, so I'll just leave it here...

Ready for the market

I'm almost ready for the market at Bortelid this Saturday. I'm putting price tags and my card on all the things at the moment. Just thought I'd show you some of the things I've been working on lately and will be selling at the marked.

Here are my egg warmer hens... Aren't they cute?? Well I think so, and I hope someone else does too, or else I'll be able to have one heck of an egg party afterwards...!

I've also made three angels. Christmas angels or all year round angels?? That's up to the buyer. These are my own design. I got inspiration for these from different places, but I made the pattern for them myself (couldn't find a pattern I liked.... I loaned the pattern for the wings from a "Tilda" book though)

Toilet bags and make up purses in different sizes and designs. Most of them I didn't use a pattern for, but the pattern for the two box bags in the lower right corner I kindly got from Elna W. Næss.
The colours are more true on this picture...

Travel Tissue Holders...
And some hearts to hang...
I've also done some crocheting. Old fashioned pot holders.
And knitting. Dishcloths. I used the ballband pattern for these.
(I think maybe the colours got a bit rich on this one...)
Knitted woolly socks... will keep your feet warm. I only made one of those though...
I also have a few things more, but I think I've showed them before, so I'll leave them for now.

I'm very excited about this whole market thing. I've never done anything like this before. Hope someone wants to buy something.... that would make me happy. And if not... I've sure had a good time planning and making all this.
