Time to reveal my birthday make of the month (which has been given) and to reveal some of the items that I made for Christmas presents and which have now hopefully all been seen by their recipients!
First though the birthday presents I made for my mother
This little wrist bag was a request and I copied one that she already had.
I thought that she would also like one of these bucket bags so I made one using the same fabric as the wrist bag. The pattern is by Lisa Lam and is in the 'Bag Making Bible'.

Now a few pictures of Christmas presents. First, three pairs of placemats.
And a book cover.
I would like to wish you all a very Happy, Healthy and Peacefull New Year and look forward to reading all your blogs in 2014.
