wrapping

I am still trying not to purchase and rather make things for presents, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I have a present cupboard, where I buy things and store them until they are needed - especially if I see something on special!

On Sunday we have a birthday party for one year old twin girls - Kira and Ava, and I have some great little tins of china plates, bowls and cups. So, rather than totally forgo trying to stay 'homemade', I have made little denim bags embroidered with their initials. These are instead of commercial wrapping paper, but later in their lives can also be a handbag. I think they look pretty cute and we will make matching cards too. It was nice to have the embroidery machine out again.
