Jan. 1: Paper Flowers
I made some of these precious paper flowers as a gift for my sister-in-law who hosted a lovely New Year's Eve party, but then I had to make a couple for myself as well. They sit ready to welcome guests in our spare bedroom. The general idea came from http://jonesdesigncompany.com/flowers/rolled-paper-flowers-tutorial/. However, I added button centers and used sticks found in the yard as the stems.
Jan. 2: Hat Lining
I bought this hat last winter on Etsy. I love it, but wished it was a little warmer. After a little searching I found this tutorial on adding a fleece lining to a knitted hat, http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2008/06/fully-lining-hats-with-polar-fleece.html. And, now my ears stayed toasty warm during the temperature drop these past few days.
Jan. 3: Plant Sale
While at Home Depot today I noticed cute little plants on sale. While I love to have lots of nature inside my home, I am not the best at keeping it healthy. Luckily my husband seems to have that green thumb. So that $2 plant, a little note, and some braided yarn easily turned into a surprise Tuesday gift.
Jan. 4: Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
I think cooking and baking count as creative endeavors. We enjoyed these Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies with some new friends over a lively game of Apples to Apples. http://www.marthastewart.com/342189/oatmeal-cranberry-cookies
