This is one of the two pillows that I made for my mother in law and her sister. The plaid fabric was from a shirt that my husband had held onto that was their dad's. He passed away 18 years ago. I used a really soft red fleece for the front and then sewed one of the front pockets onto each one. They teared up a bit, so I guess they were well received. I also made a small drawstring bag out of the same shirt for my husband's cousin to put a couple of their grandpa's pocket knives in, also well received.
We also did air dough handprints for the grandparents - I even got my husband's sister to do her two boys so they got all of their grandkids ornament prints.
Next was a bunch of pajama pants for the guys. First off, Chicago Bears cotton for my father in law (I made just the pants - he decided to pair a shirt he already had with it).
Hunter orange fleece for my husband's younger brother who just passed his hunter safety. There was also a digital camoflauge fleece pair for my husband's uncle that I didn't get a pic of.
This next one was made by my husband's 18 year old brother - it was a solid oak bookshelf for his mom. It was really well done so I thought it deserved a mention.

This was a pair of camo pants and a personalized crayon roll for my 3 1/2 year old nephew.
This was a stuff lion I made for my 7 month old nephew. It also uses parts of the grandpa shirt like the pillows. This would be his great grandson. I named it LAV which is Croation for lion because my husband's grandpa was Croation.
