Hi all,
In my efforts to stash bust (and because money is a lot tighter this year after hubby having to take a pay cut after redundancy struck!) I have decided to try and make lots of my Christmas Presents this year.
So welcome to the "Crafty Christmas" thread.
I shall attempt to post pictures of my makes on here and anyone else who has ideas, links or have made their own gifts are more than welcome to post as I need all the inspiration I can get
My first job is making a list of all the people I need to make presents for

Thanks
Love these :-) Please could l ask where you found the pattern for the octopus please.
I don't have patterns/instuctions for either. I had a woollen octopus as a child and thought I would have a go at making one (ten made now!). They are very quick and easy. If you google how to make a woollen or yarn octopus there are lots of instructions and tutorials. I used a ball of toy stuffing in the head to fill it out a little more.
I will try to draw the pattern and add instructions for the gnomes and upload it later.

this year I am thinking of getting one of these and decorating it with words or pictures cut from old fabric. she likes her tote bags when she's shopping and they'll come in handy now with the carrier bag charge
