Handmade Gifts to someone speacial or just for yourself

I grew up around art as my grandfather was an artist for the Chicago Tribune and I use to sit around and draw with him or by myself for hours. My love of art and crafts grew over the years. I happened to marry an artist, so there is always something creative going on around our house. My true love is Cross Stitch, it is such a passion I have a hard time putting it down and get other things done. I love to sew and do crafts as well so I am always looking for that new item to make. It is such a creative process and I am so excited to see the finished product. I hope you love these items as well.
