Every year I continue to be amazed at the beautiful gifts we create. We want to share them, but even more we want to remember them and therefore I record them here.
* Aria sewed a tool belt out of brown corduroy and batik patterned material for Elias, our woodworker. *Elias and Aria teamed up to put together a cook book for Ben, filled with some favorite recipes and some new to try in a material covered binder.
* Likewise Ben and Elias teamed up to sew a mattress, comforter and pillow for Aria's special doll.
*We all freezer stenciled Chris a t-shirt with a bull fighter, to mark our summer trip to spain
*I sewed a quilt for Elias using a good amount of jean from all the pants he wore through in the past year. I was thrilled with the results
*For shai I made a pair of wings for him to sing and dance around in- they turned out a little big needing a bit of modifying
*a embroidered camp blanket for Aria
*a water bottle holder for Elias from Ben
There were others, but these were our highlights.

great idea with the jeans/pants in the quilt. boys can't really pass on clothing (as i've learned 3-4 washes into fierce's hand-me-downs to bosco)
what great presents!
It must be true for everyone because the second hand stores don't seem to carry boys clothes past size 8ish.
thanks :)
