I finished My Big Toe's Nothing To Fear today.
I made this project for one of my sisters. It will be under the tree this Christmas with a 'From Santa' tag on it. In our family, we draw names for Christmas, but if you find a small gift that is perfect for someone else, you put it under the tree as a Santa gift. There are no rules for Santa gifts. Some years there are a lot, and some years just a few. Santa gifts are sometimes funny, sometimes practical.
Last year the five girls in my family got rain gauges from Santa. One year my brother-in-law got a light for his toilet. The first Christmas I was married, Santa brought me a bag of potatoes. (We had gone to my in-laws that year for Thanksgiving, and I was amazed that they did not have mashed potatoes. I thought everyone had mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving.) I usually try and find some tacky Virginia Tech ornament for my brother to get from Santa. Santa usually brings my mom at least one puzzle. If you don't want someone to know who Santa is, you have to use different wrapping paper than what you use for other gifts and sneak the gift under the tree.

This is a fun gift. I am assuming your sister isn't a fan of spiders??
That sounds like a fun tradition!
That's a very sweet tradition, and a very nice gift.
I love this tradition! Your gift for your sister is awesome... and beautiful.
I only have one brother, and we quit exchanging presents a couple of years ago (nobody needs anything). I did make him a game board this year, and got to give it to him while we were in Texas. He loves games.
First, I love this - have several family members who are deathly afraid of spiders - I am going to have to find the pattern! And second, what a great idea for Christmas - love the idea of the Santa gifts
