I am a member on a cake forum. Actually it’s my home away from home. I’ve met up with a group of them two years in a row at the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show in Tulsa and had a blast both years. It’ll be an annual event as far as I’m concerned.
For the second year in a row I participated in a Secret Santa Exchange with the members of this forum. This year, what with the Handmade Pledge and all, I ended up making a couple of things for my SS (although I do admit to sending a book that I didn’t make and a couple of toys for her kids that I didn’t make).
For my Secret Santa recipient I made a reversible apron in her favorite colors (blue and green) from batiks. I also embroidered four towels with “inspirational” sayings (well, inspirational if you’re a cook or baker I guess).
Two handmade gifts completed.
9 trillion left to go…

Oh, I love it!!! I could’ve used the apron yesterday when my parents and I made 500 pierogis!

Frank, I have an embrodiered tea towel that I LOVE dearly. From a sweet friend in her 70′s.
It says “Alcohol is the answer. I don’t remember the question.”
HA!
Everyone will love your hand made gifts……..they are all beautiful works of art!
