Christmas Gift
Yes, I am still talking about what I received for Christmas from my family to do with knitting and crocheting. My aunt gave me this cute little case to help keep all of my knit and crochet things organized. What makes the case so special is that it is felted and the case is in the shape of a sheep. I showed it to all of my friends in my knitting group and they all thought that it was so cute.

FELTED KNIT TOTE
My mom made for me a felted knitted tote for Christmas. The tote is knitted and then after you knit the tote you have to put the tote in the washing machine. On the front of the tote my mom made a design using i-cord. The inside of the tote is also lined with blue cotton material with even an inside zippered compartment. The handles of the tote are also made by using the i-cord method. I will be using this tote to hold all of my knit and crochet projects that I will be bring to my crochet group and knitting group.
I really love this tote because my mom spent a lot of time working on this and her friend even worked on the tote by sewing the lining in the inside of the tote.
Handmade gifts are the best because they are made with love.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.

Making Christmas ornaments with your kids or for yourself are fun anytime of the year. My mom lives near the beach and she made these Christmas ornaments with her crafting group for my daughter and I. I thought that they were so cute, and I want to share them with you.
Materials Needed:
beach shell
acrylic paint
silk ribbon
hot glue gun or crazy glue if you don't have a glue gun
To make all you need to do is paint a snowman or Santa on the shell and then let dry. Next you turn the shell over and hot glue the ribbon to the top of the shell and let dry. Next you can write on the back of the shell with permanent marker anything that you want.
This is the front of the ornament.
This is the back of the ornament.
The next time you are on the beach you can collect these shells to make Christmas Ornaments.
I hope that you enjoy making them and they make great presents.Julie
Handmade Gifts
When making handmade gifts, such as crocheted or knitted items like scarves, hats, hand warmers etc. it is a good idea to put on the item a tag that says it was handmade and who it was made by and what kind of yarn it is. The tag can be made or bought from the store that way the person knows if it was handmade or store bought.
Here is a picture of the tag that am using for my handmade gifts that I have made for people for Christmas.

If you have a crock pot this is a very easy recipe to make. If you put it on in the morning it will be ready to eat by dinner time. It is a nice soup to have on a cold winter day. It also tastes good with Italian Bread. This recipe is a family favorite and I hope you enjoy.
CROCK POT LENTIL SOUP
1 small onion
10 baby carrots - chopped
1 potato - chopped
2 teaspoons garlic - chopped
1 16oz. bag of lentils (rinsed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon Mrs. Dash
1 chicken bouillon cube (with no MSG)
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
Put all of the ingredients into the crock pot and fill all the way up to the top of the crock pot with water and cook on HIGH for about 6 hours, or until the lentils are soft. When ready serve.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.
