this is on my mind....

an inspired homemade holiday.

this post is my contribution to down to earth's friday photo feature. above is my little area for crafting homemade holiday cards and gifts. when putting this post together, i realized most of my ideas this year were inspired by fellow bloggers! click to visit their lovely spaces in the web.

crocheted hello kitties for the girls, pattern from sayjai at kandjdolls.

felt dinosaurs for the boys, sparked by wendy of the butterfly balcony.

some card-making

hi!

aroused by leah, whose creations i was so happy to peruse and purchase at a local craft fair.

made by leah

an all-night felt fest was triggered by elycia and lots of scraps! the presents and balls were old stickers leftover from my scrapbooking days and the star is made from reused wrapping paper.

elycia put together a really cute video tutorial on how to make your own adorable holly headband. the holly costs pennies to make and could also be used as a brooch, a tree ornament, or even a magnet! the possibilities are endless...=)

happy homemade holidays!
