Christmas Gifts Crochet and Shells

I made my g-daughter star fish and then went to the shell
shop and got some real star fish and glued them in the middle
she can hang them up or lay them on her dresser her
room is all done in sea shells and beach look.

this is the orange one

the green one

the blue one

then I went and got her a shell that opens to put the cross
 earrings I made her inside

this is the headband I made not sure who gets this

I added an antique button I had

I made it with Anne Blatt yarn 

this is the cross I added to her headband

I also used a light row of ribbon thread

I like this

I was so excited when I found this shell box to put the star fish
doilies in 

all three together

I also got everyone a stocking with their initial

I found a cute postcard to add

made these last night
with a few beads

show up as pretty as they really are

Snood Finger less Gloves and Turkeys

the turtle

the side view

on me

I tried to get it from the side

too funny check out my eyes I am trying to see it in the mirror to snap the shot

got hubby to snap it from the back

I decided to keep this snood for me and make another for my niece. I added a ribbon and a turtle pin I never wore from my jewelry box. I think it really enhances it. 

I made several finger less gloves and cannot decide which embellishment to use??? The one button the rust colored one is a vintage button, the other is a kitty face, then I have the butterfly one, hmmm decisions. which one do you think looks best???

I like it on

they are warm too

the middle button is vintage

vintage button

another vintage button

too cute kitty

looks pretty on

with the bow

I made this turkey last  year.

I am making Christmas gifts daily, with not a lot of $$$$ this year most of my family & friends will get homemade items..I am picking out things to make just right for each person. The white and black yarn will be my next pair of gloves. This time in wool and fun fur yarn.
