handmade gifts: part 3

::tree pillow




 This tree pillow was made for my best friend Kelly-Jo. We have had numerous conversations about how much we love trees...we are drawn to them - maybe growing up in the Pacific Northwest has something to do with it.



::recycle shirt


 

Kelly's husband Michael (Michael Recycle! as my boys call him - yes, he does own the book) was the recipient of this shirt.  He is in the recycled goods business, and is always giving us all kinds of treasures (clothing, fabric, and more), so this gift seemed fitting for him!

I used reverse applique to create the design (also seen here and here).
