dreaming of a handmade christmas

A few months ago I decided this year was going to be a handmade Christmas for this little one.

I figure it won’t be too long before she gets to the age where handmade is no longer cool.  I better enjoy it while I can!
There are so many awesome ideas floating around blogland, and my Pinterest board for her is now stuffed full of ideas.
Here is some of what’s inspiring me.
Dolls
Sock Monkeys
Play Tents

I really need to get a-crack-a-lackin if I’m going to get stuff made by Christmas.  I’m so far behind!
Are any of you giving handmade this year?  Have you already finished everything and have it wrapped, or are you like me and are just now getting started?

    I LOVE that adorable tent. My kids have spent countless hours inside tents during our long winters, pretending, reading, snoozing! And you are right, the time will come when they want very specific brand names so enjoy this time with Izzy while she's little! {Those eyes! Such a cutie!}

    We are juuuuust getting started on the Christmas gift-making. I thought we were pretty brilliant when we got the whole family to sign on to only give homemade or free gifts this year, but I forgot that we have to actually, you know, MAKE the gifts.

    Izzy is soo lucky! Your homemade presents will be the best! Also I appreciate any time that the phrase "crack-a-lackin" is used. 🙂
