Handmade Christmas Central

Picture
Who doesn't love to receive a handmade gift, made especially for them?  And I love to give homemade gifts, especially if they are consumable or useful. They are enjoyed while they last and when they've been eaten, drunk or used there's nothing left to clutter up the house, nothing to dust or polish or store or find a spot for - the perfect gift.

Have you taken up the challenge to have a handmade Christmas?

The first handmade christmas challenge started back in July 2013 and was a huge succes. Lots of gifts were lovingly made by hand, and generously given for Christmas that year. 

Two years ago, I decided to try a completely handmade Christmas, and they were not only a huge success, but a whole years of fun crafting, and because everything used came from the stash, it cost nothing. You can read more about it here.


With that in mind, and seeing as Christmas is only 12 short months away, it's time for a handmade Christmas challenge.

If you are going to make the gifts you give this year, you need to start now. Those twelve months will fly by and before you know it, it will be the first of December and you'll be thinking you need to get a wriggle on, then it will be Christmas Eve and you'll be at the shops, frantically searching for a gift, any gift, to put under the Christmas tree.

If you want to have a handmade Christmas start right now, today, in January, so you'll be finished by 1st December, and you can sit back, relax and enjoy Christmas 2024.
