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
The wood items that Ted makes are beautiful. What wonderful gifts!
ReplyDeleteFather Christmas is lovely too!
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!
ReplyDeleteSusie, 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.
ReplyDeleteWe 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
