In case you have missed it this year I am doing a series leading up to Christmas- 12 Weeks of Handmade Holiday Gift Ideas. Each weekend I am sharing 2 new handmade gift ideas, one crochet and one another type of craft. I am trying to focus on small, quick, and inexpensive projects that you still have plenty of time to make before Christmas. This week will finish up the first half of the series, week 6 of 12.

I got super behind last week with Halloween and my Bear of the Month landing on a weekend, which is when I normally share the projects for my 12 Weeks of Handmade Holidays series, where I am sharing 2 projects a week that are gift ideas you can make for the holidays, or anytime you need a gift. So I am still trying to get caught up on week 5 from last weekend, but this is the last one and I will be all caught up and ready for week 6. This week's non-crochet gift idea is a super quick and easy one- a set of coasters made with charm squares.

This year I am doing a series leading up to Christmas of 12 Weeks of Handmade Holiday Gift Ideas. I am a little behind this week, but are on week 5 of the 12 weeks. Each week I will be sharing 2 different projects that can be made as holiday gifts- 1 crocheted gift idea, and one gift idea that is a craft other than crochet. This is the crochet project for week 5 and for this week's crochet gift idea I decided to make a washcloth.

November 1st means another Bear of the Month, the 11th one in the set with only one more to go. For this month I wanted to make a bear that was related to Thanksgiving in some way, and I ended up landing on a little Pilgrim Bear.

Halloween is only a couple of days away but I am squeezing in one last Halloween project before it gets here. I have been meaning to post this project for a while, but it just kept getting pushed aside for other things I was working on and now I am almost out of time and getting it in just under the wire.

It is week 4 of my 12 Weeks of Handmade Holidays series, where I am sharing 2 projects a week that are gift ideas you can make for the holidays, or anytime you need a gift. The first project of the week is always a crochet pattern, and for that pattern this week I made a little baby doll. For today's project I decided to stick with the same kind of category I guess, and I made a Charm Square Doll Quilt.

This year I am doing a series leading up to Christmas of 12 Weeks of Handmade Holiday Gift Ideas. This week is the 4th of the 12 weeks. Each week I will be sharing 2 different projects that can be made as holiday gifts- 1 crocheted gift idea, and 1 gift idea that is a craft other than crochet. For this week's projects I wanted to do something geared more towards kids, so for my crochet gift idea I made a little baby doll.
