Post 114: Man Gift.

I bought one of these and I am soooo excited for its arrival! The one I purchased will be a gift for Grandpa BUT once Christmas gets a wee bit closer I WILL be getting one for the husband (I have to wait because I can't keep gifts and I can't keep my own secrets...).

I mentioned it in a couple posts earlier but I cannot tell you how PERFECT this is for the men in my life. It is a great steampunk piece buuuut even better for all of those gear-head car/boat/engine, mans man kind of guys that you can NEVER seem to find gifts for on Etsy!

This lovely little number is actually a ceramic piece coated with metal and made to rust. Which I think is genius. Have I mentioned I am completely in love with Ms. Puff? sigh.

I am sooooo sorry I have been crap for posting this week! I promise I haven't been lazy this time! Christmas is well on its way and I have the biggest family in the world, aaaand I am attempting the impossible by making everything by hand (and buying a few things from Etsy of course). To give you an idea I am only one of 6 siblings and my parents are divorced, remarried and I am also an aunt! (and I haven't even touched on the husbands family) Soo, there you have it, that is my excuse. So starting this week I may be a little slow with entries but I will try to keep it interesting...hopefully!
This week I also have my FIRST real custom order! (Not counting family of course) It is a diaper bag and I am excited to get started. I just have to wait for my fabric order to get here. Which leads me to my newest discovery....online fabric shopping. At first I thought I would hate it since I cant touch it and actually see it in front of me, but boy was I wrong! I think I may have a new addiction. It is so much easier to buy online then make the 20 minute drive into town, which means it is so much easier to spend money!
Is anyone else celebrating a completely handmade Christmas? Any fun and interesting gifts? So far the most interesting gift I am working on is a scary lizard mask "with horns and a red tongue" for my monster loving nephew.


Anywhoooo, I'll plug it again....don't forget my GIVEAWAY that ends on Friday :)
