I didn't make as many Christmas gifts as usual this year, but there were a few good ones.
Blank birthday cards for Grandma R:
Ninja turtle cap for B-I-L:
Hat pattern here. (You may need to be logged into Ravelry to follow the hat link.)
Mask pattern here
I just knit them both up, then stitched the mask to the hat, so it can flip up or down, depending on how cold it is/how Ninja Turtley he's feeling.
Also, the hubs decorated a mug for his mom:
There is a very popular tip on Pinterest claiming that if you decorate a ceramic dish with Sharpies and then bake it at 350 for 30 minutes, the picture will be permanent. This is a lie.
AFTER sweet hubs spent hours on his drawing and tried baking it, we discovered that the ink would still scrub off without much effort. A Google search (which I admit I ought to have done initially), revealed that it's widely known that this tip is a dud.
So I coated it with Mod Podge and now it's a pen or change holder, rather than something to drink out of. Still good.
Love, J
