Homemade Merry!

Part of our gifting this year included handmade gifts. There are 7 special young ones living near us who needed a warm snuggle all year long!

Each one was given the warmest hug we could think of in their favorite colors, or team, or treats!

Blankets! Each blanket was cut and trimmed and tied by the pair of us! We used two yards of material for each side. Football is a big hit right now so the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, and Oregon Ducks were chosen from a list of favorites. While the girls also love football and have their favorite teams, they were given a variety of cupcakes! These make for especially sweet dreams!

And finally the warmest hug of them all! 

School Supplies

Four of our grandchildren go to school in Oregon and they needed school supplies for the harvest days at their Waldorf school. There is no better place to shop for school supplies than the farm! Tyler found the perfect pumpkin...more than once! There were so many colors and pumpkins and gourds to choose from so the rainbow of colors for the school supplies will also be an inspiration for these little students.

Aiden found just the right size to carry by himself. He was very proud that he could carry it all the way to the truck!

Beautiful smiling faces, happy in the fresh air as the big winds were blowing a wet and wild storm our way. These little students got their supplies just in time and just before the winds carried all of the rains our way! Now all we have to do is figure out how to get the supplies to our Alaska students! xo
