And I forgot that SIL's mother always wants a magnetic photo frame for the gkids new pictures. She is really appreciative of anything I make to give her as present. Have done bun warmers, aprons, placemats and Welcome door/wall hanging for her. fmd36 in NH

I love the microwave patatoe baking bags. Most people love baked potatoes and the bags do a great job for baking the potatoes so nice. I dont make them any other way any more. My SIL loves them and even asked me to make her a couple more.( I'm sure for her grown kids.)

For the gals I play Bunco with I always make an ornament. I put them in a cute little fabric bag I've usually made too. This year I coated the inside of clear glass ornaments with glitter. I got the ones below at the dollar store last year at the end of Christmas, they were clear but had the glitter snowflake design already on them. I've already done the ones for Bunco, I'll do a bunch more to decorate the tree we donate yearly to a needy family.
I try to bake something for my coworkers.

I usually make quilts and pillow cases for my mom and dolls and stufffed animals for my grand babies. I make cardigans for some of the girls on my list and I wil probably add journals this year. I thought to make little play houses for my garand daughters this yr. You know the ones made from felt with tiny flat stick dolls that fit in pockets on tha pages that fold into a house. I need some new ideas...I will keep up with this thread!!

I'm working on a couple small purses, some stuffed ornaments... and still trying to come up with other ideas.

I have made Snippet Pot holders in the past. Wreath, Christmas trees and hearts out of Christmas fabric. They are padded so they can be used as pot holders BUT most of my friends use them as decorations.
There are lots of good Snippets books out there for ideas.
