from our woods

This week will be a bit hurried for me.  Christmas parties to attend (two so far), presents to finish, lots more sewing to do, food to prepare and of course we must deck these halls.  I will be on everyday with just a quick share of what we are up to if you want to visit us.

Today is sort of a proud momma moment so if you will allow me to brag a bit on one of my loves.  Eddie has been working in his workshop since yesterday with a surprise for Matthew.  Something he said I would love and so would my little one.  He was so right and I hope you love it too because…. he will me making more to share with anyone who wants any for their little ones.

I have wanted branch blocks for such a long time and to have these made from our own woods, for my little one by his own big brother…oh too much for my heart.  It does a momma good to see this kind of thing.

These blocks will be offered in my little shop (coming very soon hopefully) for sale and I couldn’t be prouder of him.  Each set has 20 blocks, they are hand rubbed in a special woodworking food safe blend of oils and come in a muslin bag.  He will be selling them for $20 which includes shipping but for now, these are going under our tree and I am so full of pride in this boy of mine.

    How lovely! I love hand made gifts by kids – especially when they kind of do it on their own and then show the parent – too darling! Have a great weekend – enjoy the parties and decorating your new home!
