Some of the gifties I worked on this holiday (not including a couple…or the five projects I started and didn’t finish…). 
A couple of creds:

I love that cowl! The buttons add such a cool touch to it.
Thanks! Yes! And it was super easy to make!
I’m really impressed by your pyrography, gorgeous
Thanks!! It’s so much fun to play with!
I’m very accidental prone. His Lordship says nothing else hot till I can use the hot glue gun with no hurts x
Hahaha- that is hilarious! Yes, my glass bead/torch dreams were ruined the same way!
