Gift ideas

Scroll is done. 2 little dead branches. Bark removed and lightly sanded. Wooden beads. A gold paint pen, glue, 1 piece of paper, plus several back up pieces. Ripped edges and Stained with tea & coffee. A fairly mediocre attempt to cope a fancy font. A bit of sparkly crochet thread. Did want ribbon, but again pick a box any box. So that wasn’t going to happen.

 

Very pretty under adverse conditions.  I wouldn't have been able to do it and I've got most things to hand. Doesn't it scroll up nicely. A work of art, to be sure.

Thank you   . Most of these things I’m making are if I’m honest just giving myself something to do. Fairly high chance the finished advent calendar and its gifts won’t be that appreciated   . There’s also quite a high chance after about the 3rd day I’m going to have to nag him to actually bother looking what’s in the next mitten or bootie . But I’m having fun thinking up ideas with everyone’s help and creating / buying them.
