I like receiving handmade gifts as much as I like giving them.
This year, B's mom gave us some beautiful embroidered pillowcases. Just look at those pretty satin stitched leaves!
My grandmother used to keep me supplied with embroidered pillowcases but most of the ones she made for me are quite worn and tattered. It is nice to have some fresh cases made by B's mom.
She also knows that purple, green, and gold is my one of my favorite color combinations.
Aren't these pretty?
P got this cute beaded snowflake ornament from her cousin, F. She had mentioned when we decorated the tree that handmade ornaments were one of her favorite gifts to receive!
My sister made this soft striped scarf for D. I am sure it will help him stay warm this winter. He doesn't much like hats because they don't fit well over a pony tail so a scarf is good for him.
