Christmas Gifts 2011

This year we all agreed that we are not going to spend a fortune on Christmas Gifts, we are going to stick to eats for gifts.  For the grownups I'm making some delicious fudge and homemade Pumpkin bread, this of course I'll only be able to make on the 23rd!  The kiddos will each be receiving a jar of homemade play dough and my little nephew receives a special gift as he is only a few months old!

I made him this jingling cube from felt, super easy to make for that special little one. 


I cut 6 squares of felt all in different colours, stitched them togheter and half filled it with cotton.
I added a small plastic container in the middle with a bell inside, covered that with more cotton and stitched the opening shut.  Easy as that!  No blanket stitch or anything like that, I'm totally hopeless when it comes to blanket stitching.

I saw some other great designs of the same kind of concept on these two sites:
My Poppet - great step by step tutorial!
