Handmade Christmas 2016 - Crochet and Baking

Good morning! I hope you are enjoying the holiday today. I wanted to show what I made my friends and family for Christmas.


For my friends, Constance and Jim, I made a kitty doll for their baby girl, Arwen. I hope Arwen will like it when she gets old enough to play with it.


For Amanda, I made a short watermelon scarf. I found the pattern/video on YouTube and thought it would be a great way to brighten up a dreary winter day and light enough for weather in California. I love the added embellishment of black Pony beads to use as watermelon seeds.


For my uncle, I made orange brownies as part of his presents. They are his favorites.


In my mother's stash of containers, I found this cute reindeer plastic tub. Perfect for 'wrapping' his brownies.

For my friends, I made those kawaii cross stitch ornaments that I posted about last week :)

I hope you had fun crafting for friends and family too!

Until next time >___<

  1. Rachel, that kitty doll looks so soft and sweet. She will love it!

    I've never heard of orange brownies? Is it a family recipe? Would you be allowed to share the recipe? LOL

    Have a wonderful evening!

  2. Lol our family doesn't have family recipes that are passed down.

    The recipe is Paula Deen's recipe from the Food Network.

    I double the glaze recipe and tilt the pan back and forth to coat the brownies.

  3. You made some great gifts for family and friends, Rachel, and I'm sure the recipients were more than pleased. That watermelon scarf must have been a lot of fun to make.
