    Another project I did a couple of months ago was 88 teacups for a colleague. She saw the ones I made for the Women's Group and asked if I could do them for her too. Her good friend has had 3 rounds with cancer several years ago and every year she hosts a Biggest Morning Tea event. Tia offered to pay for them, but I didn't take it - that was my donation to her friends fundraiser. 

On a fun note - here is this years Christmas hat. It will make it's debut next week at the art group Christmas lunch. And yes, it has lights too.





    Wow, it's been a while! Lots of makes to post today. 

Starting with this years Christmas boxes. This lot is for the Women's Group lunch, each one has a small choc egg inside. These are about 1 1/4" square - that heavens for dies!! I also made 3 extr for my physio and OT at the hospital.

These are for my art group, a choc coin in each.

For the staff and other volunteers at the Community Centre.

The shop giveaways I do each year for local shop staff. I usually take some in my bag for when I;m away shopping. Nice to let workers know they're appreciated.

This group were for the local Seniors group - 3 large ones and 30 small ones.
 

Christmas party with my scrapbooking group.

For my boys and their families. The small boxes are for their money and those go into the big box. I will throw in a few lollies if there's enough room. Two of the grands have moved out of home now, so they will get their own box. I love making these, once I did one, the ideas just kept coming and I couldn't stop. I'm making a few others as spares in case I need more.

Well, that's about it for the Chrissie boxes. I did this one for my granddaughters birthday last week. Turned out so pretty, and I had the genius idea to use a paper straw to hold the money, instead of trying wrap it. 


This was my "to do" list this year, but I've ended up making about 10 more than what's there.

Here's another couple of projects I made just because. They turned out so cute.
