I can't take credit for finding this.. Bonnie had it on her blog today. But since I love watching Duck Dynasty, and I know my MIL loves Si... this is for her! :)

No... he's not a Husky...*insert sarcasm* LOL
If pictures are worth a thousand words... this one speaks volumes. Yes Jake is a Husky, although he doesn't have the stereotypical colours, this is most definitely his element.

Homemade Gifts
Now that some of the recipients have received their gifts, I can show you what I made.
Fleece jammy pants with adorable paw prints!

Eyeglass cases, zippered pouches (she has some great tutorials).
.jpg)
Table runners (search the internet and youtube, there are all kinds of tutorials on these). DMIL received the Christmas themed one, DSIL received the orange and green one as those colours, along with chocolate browns and bright yellows are her fav's.

And of course, some mice stuffed with stuffing and catnip for the kitties.

The kitties loved them!!
I forgot to take pictures of the Christmas Crackers, without the "crack", but they turned out great!
There are other pics.. but they'll have to wait until the packages are received in London, Ont.
I really love the idea of giving handmade gifts versus overly-priced store bought items. Supplement those with some good quality items from the dollar stores: cooking utensils, glass cutting boards, note pads, etc. and everyone gets items they need and can use.

Canada Post Amazes!
I cannot ever remember Canada Post delivering on a Saturday or Sunday, but apparently they do when Christmas Eve is on a Monday.
This is what I found in my mailbox on Sunday the 23rd!

More packages from far off places (Utah, Arkansas and New Zealand!) for the Sandy Block Drive. I volunteered to put together 2 quilts for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. And on Monday (the 24th), one of our neighbors came to the door with a package, from Idaho, USA. Canada Post had delivered it to the wrong address... I'm so grateful for nice neighbors!
So now I have all 84 wonky log cabin blocks (42 per quilt) to put together, sandwich, quilt, bind and send to equilters. I will definitely take pictures of these before I send them off. Thank you Michele for organizing this.
