The colors of fall are beginning to fade, and thoughts of Christmas giving are increasing.... While many of the items in my studios would make great gifts, I now have Bookmarks available. These little one-of-a-kind pieces of art are great little inexpensive and useful gifts that any book reader would love. My bookmarks are made from my own sunprinted fabrics, using plants and flowers from my gardens to create the prints. These would appeal to any nature lover or gardener in your life.

If you have people on your gift list who wouldn't appreciate one of my bookmarks, you can easily find one in any of the other great shops here, just search for bookmarks to find many wonderful handmade creations.   A search for Stocking Stuffers will bring you an even wider selection of items to choose from.

Have a great Handmade Christmas this year!!

Are you planning a Handmade Christmas this year??  Purchasing items handmade by others is a great way to do this. You can make it a Truly Handmade Christmas by making your own gifts. There are many patterns available here at Artfire to help you do just that. I have 3 patterns available for items that I sell in my AndrusGardens shop. The photo shows a cover made from my Notebook or Journal Cover Pattern PDF. With the pattern, you can make your own similar to the ones I sell here. The pattern allows you to create a unique gift for anyone. There are detailed instructions for measuring any book to make a great cover for.  The other patterns I have available are for my Fabric Bowls, and my Bottle Cozies or Covers.

If you are looking for something a bit different, check out all of the patterns in PDF form available from other artists and craftspeople here at Artfire.  You are sure to find something you will want to try making for those on your gift list, or even make something for yourself!

Remember, If you are not the creative type, then there are Many Many Unique Gifts to choose from...  You can even shop in your jammies!!

Thank you for stopping by my Artfire Studio Blog. I have just settled in, so be sure to check back soon for updates!
