Show and tell time Friends version

Thought I'd give you a break from show and tell for a day! This time I will be showing you the gifts I crocheted for some friends.
You may recognise these as being something similar from a previous post. They're a more colourful version of the christmas tree decorations I made.
I had a lot of fun with choosing the colour combination for them all actually. I tried to match the colours to the personality of each friend if that makes any sense.
I was really lucky as well to find some buttons and beads that were hanging around my room to embellish them all with.
I really enjoyed making these. It was nice to work on some projects that required the skill of crochet for a change. I'm going to try and do a few more things crocheted now I think. Take a slight break from knitting. I say slight because I've got some awesome knitting books for christmas which I can't stay away from! I'm itching to get started on some of the patterns in those!

Love them - you could flog them to John Lewis as they are very decorative,original and light to go on the tree. Family heirlooms of the future maybe. I bet a craft shop in Kendal would snap them up or could you have an on-line outlet?
The mind boggles - hey- you could call them boggles!
