Buy Handmade - Make Your Pledge To Buy Handmade Goods.
I have been daydreaming about making all of my own gifts this year. But, seriously, I can't dig that sort of hole for myself. I will be happy if I follow through on completing two of the hundreds of projects I have planned. I am serious, though, about buying all of my holiday gifts directly from small independent artists or crafters. In fact, I've already started. Here are some shops that I have been frequenting over at Etsy:
I recently picked up this adorable onesie from bean child. Felix loves guitars and it makes getting him dressed so much easier. I am thinking about picking up the drum kit onesie too.
I love the cards from the beautiful project. I bought and framed this one to hang in our bathroom. Right above it, I put this card. Just some little reminders to let loose and be free on the toilet.
For my cool sister-in-law I have been eyeing the wallets at both quiet doing and tinymeat. I love all of the designs. All. of. them.
And then there are the earrings, earrings, earrings. We have a tradition of giving each other earrings at Christmas - and we try to find that something unique and special for each person. I can't even begin to show you all of the great earrings on Etsy. Here are a few of my favorites:

I am into this buying homemade or if I can get myself motivated make handmade gifts. I better get knitting. I have some work to do!
