MAKING THE GIFTS!

That's right!  The craft project that began with an idea I saw on Pinterest the end of last May (nearly seven months ago) is finally nearing completion.

The hooked rug star ornaments are definitely a labor of love with multiple steps and finishing touches that seem endless!

As with most craft projects, the meat of the work is my favorite part with the finishing being the most tedious and tiresome.

However, the results are well worth the effort!  I think they all turned out quite nice.  I even added a button which was not in the original pictures.
