Gifts...

 These are some of the gifts we are giving this year. Some trays ,made of Brazilian cherry, oak, walnut and purple heart woods.
 The purple heart wood is really purple in color. It's very expensive so Ted uses every scrap:) I have to wrap these today.
This is a Father Christmas that my daughter Kathy made me years ago. She made one for all her sisters  also. Everyone was different materials, all so very sweet. His wee basket holds a pine cone.:) Kathy is a very good seamstress. I used to be. I am doing good to sew a straight line now.  Hope all of you are warm and safe. The sun is shining, but the wind is blowing hard, thus drifting the snow from yesterday. ... Hope all of you have a good Sunday. xo

  2. Great trays and I love Father CHRISTmas! What a fun gift to have that you can use every year. We have that cold and wind here today, too. NO getting out for me!

  3. Susie, the trays are a wonderful gift from the heart as are the Father Christmas figures. I truly wish I were more crafty so that I could give gifts that I made with love.

    We are quite clam here, thankfully...lots of snow and cold and gray skies. It seems like it's been a long time since we've had snow before Christmas.

    Be careful if you have to go out.

    XO,
    Jane

  5. Those trays are so beautiful! How about adopting me so I can get one? LOL.

    I love your Father Christmas. What a lucky girl you are to have such a talented daughter.

    Be careful out there. You got it much worse than we did.

  8. Those trays are GORGEOUS, Susie. Ted did a great job putting them together. Your little Santa is very sweet and all the sweeter because it is made by your daughter- xo Diana
