New Christmas Ornaments 2021
Every year I love making something for each family member. Some years I knit something. This year I made ornaments. The blue one is made from card stock I found in a drawer upstairs. The gnome required a few purchased products–a wooden egg; tiny red pom-poms for noses; felt, bells and ribbon for the hats; and polyester stuffing for the beards. Oh. And don’t forget hot glue sticks. Can’t make much of anything without hot glue!
Kitty Hide and Seek
Even though our black Bombay cat Safa is elderly, he still plays hide and seek under the covers of my bed, for instance, under a chair or in the big box that the cat condo came in. (He mostly ignores the latter.)
Late Fall Birthday Party
My husband built a train of plastic fifty-gallon barrels pulled by a garden tractor years ago. We drag it out for special occasions like birthdays. A generation of grands is enjoying it now. Such fun!
