Christmas Crafts

Calling all crafty TTCALers!!

So, what are you all planning for Christmas crafts?
I don't think I'll have time for much, but I am making my BFF a scarf (as per her request) and I found these awesome spiky ball ornaments (Turkish star) online the other day. Made one at work today and I think I'm going to head to Micheals for some fancy shmancy paper to make some more as gifts for my coworkers =) At which point I will proceed to burn my fingers off with my glue gun

Other than that, I'm going to be making some chocolates. My boss requested brandy cherry chocolates XD

    @Menrandes‌ I love the ballerina ornament! I still take ballet as an adult. Her tutu is beautiful! I'm sure it will be a happily received gift.

    @PetraStonegirl The fabric ornament was my first attempt at one!  I think I'm going to start making them every year as well!  Give them as gifts perhaps.  It would be so easy to personalize them for people. 
    The stock was my first time as well!

    Going to dive into a wreath today, since my fall one is still adorning my door! I am making my BFF's newbie niece some baby booties too. (Fml)

    I'm not crafty or a baker... I've tired both :(

    But, I just wanted to say that everything in here is awesome!
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    I will be back when I get off of work to add my pictures, but I am working on 2 quilts, finished the blanket for my MIL, and made candles and lavender oatmeal bath salts. The next thing on the list is to get the center piece for my grandparents done and our wreath (the advent wreath I made on Sunday so that is done). Then the cookies in a jar and the baking that needs to be done. I love crafting! :D
