Em's 2018 Christmas Presents

Fold-up bag
I have had these 2 pillow cases for a while to make something with. I love the pattern. I made reusable bags using this style. I really liked the idea of the button and elastic closure of this style bag so incorporated that into it. I tried to make it as easy as possible to fold as I gave them to my aunties.




Beetroot Relish
I made a batch of my favourite beetroot relish for everyone for Christmas. We have a constant supply in our fridge and cupboard to put on eggs or fritters etc. I also made the labels.






Reindeer Noses
I made these reindeer noses as effective Christmas gifts. I think it is a really clever way to give the sometimes boring gift of chocolate in a new way, as everyone likes chocolate right? A packet of Malteasers and a packet of Jaffers made two big jars perfectly (Damn! I was hoping for some left overs!). I also like the added touch of a reindeer Foo on the label! 😁


Eggs
Our chooks supplied the three dozen eggs we needed for our family Christmas lunch, so I edited the usual label I use when giving people eggs and put little Santa hats on the chickens!
