those little candy ornaments are to die for! i love them-so cute! my 8yr old daughter hayley is in love with the doggy biscuit ornament- she says to me " mommy can you make that for sophie? (our puppy)" my machine doesnt do embroidery so im going to see what i can come up with for her. great work!!

[DIMITRAAAx]

homemade gifts are the most beautiful and unforgetable! also you put your effort to make them and that's all that matters! :)

[tarentia]

Could you write down the name of the story teller you mention on the video? I tried to google it but I couldn´t find her, so maybe its my spelling as I am not english speaker... thank you!

This time I opt for LAVIS SKIN CARE Line. It is pretty affordable and works amazing. I Purchased this from facebook. Perfect present for Christmas I would say.

[slggb]

[arcanga02ILY]

[ilivetolovelife]

these are very pretty :) 

[sylviahenin21]

Fantastic gift ideas. Quite impressive vid. I often visit Facebook online stores to purchase gifts for my friends. An ideal skin care product like REGENEVIVE will be a good idea to gift some one whom you value. I had received the product with in few hours.

You can't beat homemade gifts, you have put so much effort into the things you have made, and all are made from your heart. I have an embroidery machine and make my gifts for family and friends, although not always appreciated this day and age, I will not give into the commercial circus in the shops at Christmas :)

[susangm]

@kymmy2kymmy I'm with you! I enjoy making the gifts and can only hope they are enjoyed by the recipients.

[meandmychickies]

So pretty !! Awesome job!!

Jen :0)

[lavalamper1]

So very beautiful. So few people are this talented and considerate nowadays!!! It would make my christmas to get a gift like that, so much hard work and thought put into it. I'm sure the people who received those gifts appreciated it greatly! :) bless your soul

[susangm]

Thank you for the nice compliment. I need to make a video of the gifts I'm doing this year but have a couple more to do before I can do that. Last year I made those cd's for my adult grandchildren. The only comment I got was, "What were you thinking, Grandma?" So much for my efforts!

[910roset]

did u really do that!!!!!!!!!!!! wow they r good

[kiwishort147]

very very nice.i love it!!!!!!!!!!

[cristwizzle]

Such beautiful items. How can I learn to make these things?

[susangm]

@cristwizzle Get a sewing/embroidery machine and start having fun!

[cristwizzle]

@susangm Thanks! What machines would you reccommend?

[susangm]

@cristwizzle The best thing to do is research them. Decide what you want to do with them, what you're willing to pay, what each machine is capable of, join some yahoo groups and ask opinions about reliability, options, features, etc. Then start visiting stores that carry the different brands. Try to talk to customers of each dealership if you can because finding a reliable dealer is very, very important.

[LittleMissMe86]

So very beautiful, couldn't stop watching, :)

[Pashin1979]

[MsMakeupQueenie]

You really enjoy making bookmarks don't you ?!? :)

[Smiliesish]

UR AWESOME! you HAVE to make a video on how to make the Ginger bread man who holds that candy cane!!!!

[susangm]

@Smiliesish Glad you liked it! I just might do a video tutorial on that after Christmas. I've got all my gifts done for this year and in January I'm usually racking my brain for something to make so I just might do that video. Thanks for the suggestion!

[hatelibs1]

u. r. very. talented.  thank. you

[ThePomeranian9]

Fantastic video please can you make a another video or tell me how to make the snowman with the candy holder or if you have any ideas that children can make.Thxs

[susangm]

@ThePomeranian9 Do you sew? If not, you could make one of them from heavy card stock and cut slits for the candy cane. I made mine with my sewing/embroidery machine. Do a google search for snowman pattern and I'll bet you'll find some interesting things.

[multiplymelollipop1]

yes..because every one WANTS a door hanger for christmass

[TheHeyyAndy]

@multiplymelollipop1 I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[evcsgirl811]

im 15 and i want to make something for my grandma this christmas, what is something easy i could make? ive never sewn a day in my life but shes always wanted me to and i think just the fact that i made something will make her happy and surprise her, i have one of the little mini sewing machines so it cant be very big.

[susangm]

I think if I were you I would go to your local craft store and look at the kits they have. You could make a Christmas stocking or a small cross stitch item that could be put in a small frame you can get at the craft store. Most kits come with everything you need to make the item and instructions about how to do it. These would be hand made items. If you need help with the instructions try taking them in to a local sewing store and there are people there who might have time to help you.

[evcsgirl811]

@susangm thank you, you helped a lot! ^_^

[EmmyGurl523]

I'm 15 and I think these are so cute!

It's sad people don't make things as Christmas gifts much anymore.

I would love getting something like this made from a family member. (:

[susangm]

@EmmyGurl523

I think you're right, Emmy.  I'm glad you're a young girl who does appreciate such things. So, maybe you can learn how to make something and give it to someone. It will make your heart feel good!

[shellysim23]

how nice id love one of these!

[susangm]

@shellysim23

I've been making some items for this Christmas and hope to make a video again this season so please stop by in a few weeks!

[BoxOfRains]

[OneHappyBird123]

Absolutely lovely! I would be thrilled to receive any one of those items for Christmas. :o)

[rpywcpsch]

the little candy cane holders are adorable:)

[prettycountrygal]

[PugzRme]

[car123lina]

Amazing Work ,

I wish i could do that :)

[emrocks2007]

wow

[Lyriceea]

How beautiful! Absolutely adorable. You remind me of my grandmother. She's always making me homemade things like that, so I thought I might get a headstart and give her something back. Really pretty gifts!(:

[seattlefamly]

I sure wish that I could embroider. You are a very talented woman! Keep it up! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

[susangm]

Thank you for the compliment. I'm not that talented, though. It just takes time to learn how to do something. Just find what you think you might like to do and learn all you can about it. Then once you've learned, it's time to have fun! You can do it!

[DollyWild]

Your needle work is so beautiful. With this video you've got me thinking about making Christmas decorations.

[whackymee]

WOW!

[Lovinglea61]

Oh Susan you are so talanted, I LOVE the Hand Towel with the Snow Globe on it. I Love everything Native American, I find the culture fascinating. I haven't heard from you in such a long time. I'd love to catch up soon.

Yours Truly,

Lea

[susangm]

Hi Lea, great to hear from you again. This has been a very worrysome year and I haven't been making many videos. Health problems for my husband, mother, brother and now I've got some problems. Let's hope 2009 is better for all of us!

[sara2618]

Nice work!! ;D
