I’m sorry to see November drawing to a close and that’s the first time I’ve ever said that about November! It’s usually such a cold, rainy month but your Handmade Holidays III has made November a delight.

    Fabric bags are such a great idea. My goal this year is to not buy any wrapping paper, so this will surely help!

    Here’s my link to gift wrapping ideas on Simply Modern Mom. http://www.simplymodernmom.com/2009/08/fridays-5-at-5-gift-wrap/

    I like particularly paper winebag, as it this idea can be used multiple times. Very often it happens that I buy a bottle of wine (or other alcohol) as a gift.

    “Carefree clothes” – what a wonderful title for a book! Carefree is a wonderful state to be in – away from the business of modern life. I think that is why so many of us are taking up sewing – it reminds us of more carefree days.

  344. Jena responds:
    Posted: December 4th, 2009 at 8:53 am →

    I love the voucher holder and have already printed out some of those cute gift tags – thanks!
