I've already started on my homemade holiday gifts. I am a student, and I get incredibly busy once school starts and I tend to run out of time so this year I started early.
So far I've made a camouflage baby blanket for a nephew. And started sewing a super simple doggie bed for my mom, and an afghan for a niece.
I'll probably just make some super simple bathmilks for the teachers and siblings. But those will wait till December.
do you have the recipes for those? I would love to make those too..

those blankets that you tie together make pretty nice gifts, I can get one done in about an hour sitting in front of the tv, if you watch joannes fabrics ads for sales they aren't too expensive & some walmarts carry the plain fabrics pretty cheap for one side
Are there instructions for this? I see fabric on sale all the time at Hobby Lobby.

I make dip mixes. Very simple and inexpensive to do, but always in high demand by my friends and family.
What kind of dip mixes do you make thats a neat idea..I made mustard one year for some friends that love my grandpas beer mustard..

I make 4 different kinds and it varies by year. I have a book with the recipes in it, so I go through and decide which ones sound good to me that year and make them.

I can't remember what the names are, but one was a southwestern style dip and I've made a ranch dip and one that has parmesan cheese and onion flavoring.

I have a whole book of recipes for these. When I get a spare moment and the puppy is asleep, (lol) I will type up a few of them.

That would be wonderful!
Are these a dip already made up? or a powder that they have to finish?

Last year a friend gave me a terry cloth dish rag sewed together and filled with corn. You heat it up in the microwave to warm up and then put it wherever aches. Its very nice because it will fit any area. I love it
wow cool idea where could i get corn i assume it is the big kernelled corn that is dried? or popcorn? sorry my mind isnt working today

http://www.mystuffbags.org/blanket.htm This is the one I use and I use a rotary cutter it goes a LOT faster than cutting. I am debating doing these for teachers this year but I think it may be more than I want to bite off at the moment.
I am also thinking about doing the angel wings ornaments that someone posted here last year.

Jodi (rabx5) is the OP I believe on the angel ornaments and then Paula actually did some and posted the pictures for us to see.
