Christmas at the lakehouse provided opportunities to enjoy time with family and beautiful scenery. Here are a couple of shots taken from the "back yard."

Christmas Craft Round Up!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely holiday season! Just wanted to share some of the handmade gifts straight from Robyn's Nest. These all provided great learning experiences and a great excuse to use my newish sewing machine. Hooray!

Purse for Miss Tara

Monogrammed hankies for Grandpa Bart
Amigurumi turtle for Mama Diana
Fringey poncho, for and modeled by Grandma Rella
Basket with quilted lid for Grandma Nell
Placemat and coaster (along with owl tea set) for Megu

yum!!

Anybody hungry?



I made this apple cake for my neighbors. It's hard to see in the photo, but there are cute little gingerbread people on top. This is courtesy of a sweet little loaf pan I received from my dad in Christmas past. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know!

Personalized Coffee Cozies

Here are the fabulous coffee cozies I made for my coworkers! Each one has the recipient's name embroidered on it. Thanks to the tutorial by "pink milk and fairycakes" on flickr for this lovely holiday gift idea!

Blouse for Maria

I've been working on many handmade gifts for Christmas this year, and I wanted to share this one! My awesome friend Maria is pregnant and will have to suffer through the Atlanta heat next spring. So, I made a top that will keep her both cute and cool while awaiting the arrival of her little one. It's inspired by those adorable pillow case dresses you see all over Canton.




Since Maria received her gift package today, I figured it was ok to share it with everyone else. No surprises spoiled here!

Santa's Helper

Here's my baby all dressed up for Christmas! Isn't he so cute? He just turned 9 last month!
