teacher gifts

Teacher gifts are well underway. These travel tissue holders are a pleasure to make - a great place for those bits of lovely fabric and trim that are too small for much else.  Check out Cassi's awesome tutorial if you'd like to make some yourself.  My only edit was to trace her pattern onto freezer paper and then iron it onto the fabric or patchwork I'd selected.  I have a thing against rulers and straight lines in general, so freezer paper is my saving grace.

I'm nearly done with gift crafting. It helps that Hanukkah is early this year so I had an early deadline for most everyone. 

Have no fear - a new bird is taking shape on my craft table.

This is such a nice idea and I think these little handmade things are a totally appropriate gift. Much more so than the expensive presents that the mothers of my grandchildren's school friends seem to feel they should buy their teachers. Thank you for the link.
