Gifted Gorgeousness - December Edition

It's Gifted Gorgeousness time again, the blog hop organised by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching where we get to show off our gift related crafts and stash.
I've got a little more to show this month. First up the Needlecraft Haven Ornament Exchange.
This is the beautiful sparkly ornament and little beaded angel I received from Gill


And here is the one I sent to Tina


Sally had her birthday this week, and I made her this little coin purse from an upcycled souvenir tea towel.


Still on the subject of upcycling, here is a bag I made from scraps cut from old jeans. This is for a Christmas exchange organised through Facebook, so I think I'm safe in showing it on here.


I won't show the other bits I made yet as they were more specific to the recipient.

A lovely purse that you made for Sally's birthday.

Oh, that recycled jeans bag is so cute, Christine--you did a beautiful job on it :) And I'm sure Sally loves her little coin purse, too. Both ornaments are so sweet--you have a talented lot of friends!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
