I get so excited about the possibilities for cool handmade gifts. Your blog always amazes me with the sheer mass of creativity out there.
This post makes me wish I had more children on my gift list! It would be hard to pick just one Gulf Coast Cottage Pattern, but I think I would have to choose the tool box. Thanks for the daily inspiration!
What beautiful things these all are! I just love the marshmallows on sticks
Love the campfire discovery tote!
Such a gorgeous prize! Hope I am the lucky winner!
Capelet, beret, and little mary jane shoes! Cute! Also very drawn to that campfire discovery tote. Thanks for the ideas!

Jen’s robot pattern is so cute, but my kids would have to have the “Be A Baker!”
I love all of these – again!!! I think I’m going to make the fabric playmat for my boys for Christmas…
I love the memory game. I bet you could do it with double sided fusible peltex or maybe even some heavyer weight heat and bond. This is perfect for my 4 yr old. You could even combine it with the pocket calendar and keep them in the pockets.

The robot pattern is just too cute! I checked out her etsy shop and love the doctor kit too.
If I had to pick a pattern from Gulf Coast Cottage, it would be all of them!
Okay, okay, I would probably pick the owl and the hollow or the robot. These remind me of my childhood, when toys seemed more meaningful, especially when they are made from the heart!!

I love the robot. Can I make it for myself?
I love the felt creation’s in Jen’s shop! I am blown away by how awesome it all looks. The little pies are darling! The robot incredible, I could go on with praise for each one!

I was just thinking of making a fireman softie for my nephew, and Jodie’s “One-Hour Softie” is perfect! I also *need* the stickies and labels!
I remember playing memory game in my childhood. And it was fun for me and my mother. The idea to do such game using fabrics is brilliant. If only times allow I’ll try to do something like that for my boy. Thanks!
