Gifts for Friends

I couldn’t add these to my post on handmade gifts for obvious reasons 🙂  But I thought now that these have been happily given, I could share what I made.

For some of my friends, I made little journal covers for their notebooks, to write lists in, or draw, or…well…journal.  I love the little bird I stitched onto the linen; isn’t he cute?

Other friends got either tea mixes (chai) or mocha mixes, depending on what they like in their mugs, in a homemade embroidered gift bag.

Almond-lemon biscotti was included for all, and there you have it!  I had so much fun thinking of my friends while stitching, smiling at how good the Lord is for gifting me these friendships.  I wish I could remember where I got these patterns from; they were given for free on other blogs.  If you are a blogger that shares these sorts of tutorials, MwAH!
