The hardest person to buy Christmas gifts for is my mother. Even when she gives me a list. Well, that does make it slightly easier, I'll admit, but there are times when I try to go outside the box.  Gift-giving is made even more challenging in that her birthday is only a few days prior to Christmas, so I try to think of something that will stand on its own as a birthday present.

This year, as it was my year to make hand-made gifts, I decided to knit my mom a teensy little ornament sweater and embroider her initial on it.

I was very pleased with how it turned out! I used a little pipe cleaner as a hanger/tree-hanger. 

Dorien was very helpful in holding it for me so I could take a photograph.
