A Merry homemade Christmas

Parts of my Christmas were amazing. Some were not. It is always too bad when that one bad apple can spoil a whole wonderful pie. But can only control yourself right?

We had a very homemade Christmas this year and it was awesome. My mom made us a quilt.

My father in law made us a cork board with corks they have collected for NINE YEARS! So it is a super fancy cork board that takes long to cure. Like a good wine eh?

My dad made me an ipad case and a desk! The top of the desk was in my great uncles house when he moved in. It was built in and didn't have a bade. So my dad built the bottom to it and put in a drawer and the chair was found in another family members barn and is over 100 years old. My gram is going to make a cushion for it.

My sister in law made me a pretty glass bead bracelet that I can't seem to take off! It goes with everything.

Dave's mom made him a landscape painting that was sewn and painted fabric! How neat is that?

Gram called up Dave's parents and got pictures of him and made us this little collage. She also made us some of those hangy towels. I love these because the cats can't pull them down.

And my favorite present of all. Dave cross stitched me a sampler! He even made the frame. He found a pattern online and adapted it because according to him it had some mistakes and he wanted the cats to match ours . (even waffle's white nose splotch!)

I wrote and posted this all from my iphone so I hope it all looks OK. I don't have a computer up here so let me know if it looks odd. Hope you all had a great holiday whatever you celebrate.
