My first couple of aprons will be reversible Christmas aprons....which I will save til next year. I suppose it is a little late for anybody to want to purchase a holiday apron, but somehow sewing holiday fabric keeps me in the spirit. Here is the first one finished.
Back to the subject of Christmas presents. I was in a quandry as to what to do for Jack's grandmother this year. She is 95 and lives in a nursing home. She has dementia and no longer ambulates very well. Jack is always telling her about our farm and his sister, Becky suggested that I make her a collage of farm pictures for her wall. Afraid that her eyesight might not be good enough to enjoy a picture across the room, I decided to use a terrific website called Shutterfly.com to make her a picture book of the farm. Here is a picture of the finished book and if I can figure out how, I will put a link to the rest of the book.

One more holiday apron....actually, this would be good year round....winter and summer.

They both look great! I especially like the colors in the top one.
The book for grandmother is just lovely! It's surprising the things that trigger memories with dementia patients. My mother is in a nursing home and hadn't uttered an intelligible word in months, when my brother brought in his new granddaughter baby, and my mom said, "Baby" just out of the blue.
That is a beautiful and thoughtful gift for you to assemble. hugs, Bonne
what a lovely idea for the grandmother.
