    A few miscellaneous gifts I like to have on hand.

    These trivets have hangers and are decorative only.

    Wow Bethie those are beautiful! My favorite is the one with the Iris' bloom.
    Nothing beats getting a hand made gift at Christmas, especially if they are as beautiful as those.

    Is there no end to your talents!! :D I especailly love the iris trivet - it's beautiful. My youngest lad would love the chessboard. Did I mention that I would really like to have an exclusive pin cushion like your tortoise one? Please post more of your work. :-D

    Love that chessboard Bethie (I play a lot of chess these days). I'm sure your brother will get a great surprise when he receives it. I like the way it is wider than normal chessboard to have a place to put the defeated pieces. Just brilliant :D
