Three Little Mittens

That's cool. :) It's great when hand made gifts are well received. I only made a few gifts of knitted "rug mugs" this year because I ran out of ideas on what to make that anyone would actually use.

I too made mittens and gloves this year for several people and they where excepted with much gusto.

I couldn't agree with you more...made with love...when you spend all the time and energy, the gift is priceless... I love hand made items and I think hand made mittens are not easy to make.... Happy New Year!

I think that is a very nice gift to give someone. I used to get gifts like that from my grandma when she was still living. I really liked that kind of stuff also because it actually was made by a family member.

Hello friend. I agree that hand-made gifts are of the best that we can get from our loved ones and friends. It is so true that they are made with love. I am so happy that the three mittens have already found their recipients. I also had some paper-made birds given to me by one of my students and I appreciate her for making them for me as gifts...

That's great! I'm glad you got them finished. I remember you were worried that you wouldnt't. I'm also glad that they liked them. Handmade gifts are more meaningful than the others because you have cared enough to take that time to make them.

That's great that everyone appreciated them. I think most people liked my handmade gifts - I haven't even finished giving gifts yet, so I don't know.

I couldn't agree more. Im glad your mittens were so well received. My daughter made homemade shortbread cookies in christmas shapes, put them on paper xmas plates, and wrapped them in red celaphane & tied with ribbon. The receipents, my parents, brother, friends and cousins were very pleased.

I agree that gifts handmade with love from the heart are the best gifts of all! I would much rather receive a gift that a person invested time and love in than a trinket picked up at a mall! Mittens are a great gift for anyone! I actually had to buy a pair of mittens for myself a few days ago, as I had no one make me a pair! I wanted the gloves with the fingertips missing, but with the flap available to fold over the fingertips when desired! When not desired, there is a button on the top of the mitten onto which the flap is buttoned! This allows me to use my fingertips when needed! They are like a cross between gloves and mittens!!

That's for sure! I think with the personal touch a gift has more meaning....and says that you thought out what you were giving....

hi elusivebutterfly homemade gifts are always special as they come straight from the heart made with lots of love. warm and pretty too cannot beat that combination in a gift like that. Happy New Year to you and yours hugs from Hatley.

I got some purple slippers myself. :-)

U were very kind & sweet to make the mittens. I know they were well received. U have done alot of good deeds this holiday season. I admire u very much. Happy new year.

best gifts are the ones made or chosen with love for the person receiving it. We made picture calendars for our loved ones with the kids on each month (different shots taken through out the last year......

Hi Elusive I am so glad that your hard work has paid of and that they love them In this Weather they certainly need them Hugs

That is wonderful. It makes you feel so good when someone is happy that you gave them something they could really use and something that keeps someone warm is the best. Great!

Gifts that are handmade especially with love sure are priceless and it is a lovely idea to make mittens for your loved ones. I think they are so pretty and warm. They would be so comforting to wear just like being with a good friend, warm and comforting. I am sure that each time the recipients of the mittens wear them they think of you with a smile and a warm heart. Lovely thoughtful idea made from the heart.

How wonderful that your gifts were so enjoyed! My grown children are all doing well and can buy what they need so I often give them handmade items. As I learn different crafts I make something for my children for Christmas presents. Some of the crafts I especially love are rug hooking, scrapbooking, crazy quilts, jewelry making and now knitting. I'm not to the point of making mittens but looking forward to when I can. I applaud you!

yay congradlations for getting them to their rightful recipients i am glad to hear that they liked them i agree that the best gifts are hand made and i think that hand made gifts show more love (as long as they are correctly and properly made that is) but some people look as it as you are too cheap to go out and buy a "professionally" done gift but if you do a good job with hand made gifts they would never even know that it is hand made
