Today post about a craft or something you would like to make....something that's on your "I want to try that.." list

Here's one of mine....

And there's a printable template:

That's a great banner! I may try that! I am going to try and crochet some snowflakes.

I'm heading in the kitchen for mine:

I was thinking about this yesterday on the drive home from work:

I want to make:
* Homemade fudge sauce
* Homemade Caramel sauce
* Homemade cinnamon apples
* Maybe- strawberry sauce and/or pineapple sauce
* Pecan Pralines

And set up ice-cream sundae baskets to give out to family and friends. Maybe include an icecream scoop with a cute ribbon tied around it. Also can inclue parfait dishes and long handled spoons.

Do you have a pattern for this? I've wanted to try this as well.

I am not much of a craft person.. I love to cook and bake but I have never made homemade fudge so I think I might give that a try.

A little over a year ago I taught myself to crochet. I've been thinking that maybe this year I'd like to crochet all of my nieces and nehpews hats and scarves for Christmas.

I would like to try some homemade soaps for gifts. I had some books about it, but think I must have given them away or sold them. Funny how we keep things for years never using them, and then wishing we had them after we get rid of them.

Annie those sound yummy. I'm always looking for new food ideas.

I saw an idea for seasonal drink coasters that might be fun. Or maybe personalized. Here's a link.

Annie - the ice-cream sundae basket is a great idea.
Shanon - those coasters are beautiful!

I want to make the Santa hats this year. Not exactly like these (without the belt part), but can't find the picture of the ones I want (I do have it printed out though)

I made the coasters for DD19 last year for Christmas except I used scrapbook paper and velum. She loved them as did everyone who came to her apartment.

I saw those coasters and have them pinned too.

You can make your own Modge-Podge. Equal parts white glue and water...worked fine on DD's coasters....saves a lot of money. I used 1 ounce water and 1 ounce glue because a little goes a long way.
