ahhh… I wish I had a workshop! It’s really Mom-Mom’s kitchen table, counter top, dinning room, garage and everywhere else my craft making overflows.
And like many others dealing with some sluggish economic times, holiday spending isn’t an option this year.But
♥ LOVE ♥
is not in short supply
so…
It’s gonna be a homespun Christmas!

Soon I’ll give you peek at the gift projects for the Mommy’s and Daddy’s
What lovely home made toys and how lovely to spend time with your grandkids making them.
Some wonderful handmade treasures there. Beautiful Christmas presents. I made some of those peg dolls for my Anna they are so cute! Love the mosaic pictures ~Blessings Heather
I think it is so much more fun to create a homemade gift than to buy one! I have been giving homemade for a couple of years now and I think the recipients love them so much more than store bought! (Except the menfolk! I just can't seem to think of anything that I can make that outdoorsy guys would really use!)
I love the wooden toys ~ heirlooms in the making!
Blessings, friend!
I'd rather get gifts like those than anything money could buy. Besides, you'd pay a lot of money for wooden toys like those in specialty catalogues. Your grandkids are so lucky!
P.S. Grace and I made your Cranberry Swilr loaf last night and it was a huge hit!
Oh these peg dolls are wonderful! I'm certain any girl would be happy to have them!!
