One that I had a hard time giving away was a little wallet that I made for my husband Luke. It was on an oatmeal muslin (the lady cutting at the fabric store kept calling it 'muslim'), and embroidered with a simple little fern and fiddlehead:
For my sister-in-law, Jenny, I made an apron with a frilly ruffle:
For Eber, a satchel; for Drew a kelly green wallet with embroidered feather; and for Whitney a vegetarian cook book, and recipe box with twenty or so of my favorite recipes.
Oh, and for Ariel, the weird moon shoes she gave me last year:
I had no idea that moon shoes turned little girls into satanic demons. Just kidding, I knew they were evil the minute LittleScott realized he was too fat for moonshoes. Bit as least I wasn't too fat for SkipIt! Now I'm too fat for skipping in general so that's out of the question. Lord, where does the time go?
ReplyDeleteSkipit's were so fun! I think they were the one activity that I could do without tripping or otherwise hurting myself, so I liked them a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe good news about the moon shoes, though, is that you can add more rubber bands to support more weight. I had the maximum amount of rubber bands, and so could bounce to my heart's content: all day on Christmas last year when I got them, and all day on Christmas this year before I gave them away.
