My daughter had this made for me for Christmas using scraps of wood from around the ranch. It is a memory quilt so to speak. Pieces of wood my Dad used for this or that at one time. So it is like having pieces of history all wrapped into a warm wooden creation.
I miss my Dad every day. He was my best friend.
Anyhow, I appreciate the detailed work of the barn quilt. I hung it up and I will enjoy it for many years to come.
This is the last snowman I am making this year.
This one is for my daughter/kids. I know the Princess will get a kick out of it.
So now on to cleaning and getting ready for Santa to make a visit.
I hope you are enjoying your Christmas preparations as we close in on the big day!
I made another snowman.
Frosty went to live with my co worker.
Snowmeggedon is staying here for now.
Oh how the years have flown by.
I can't believe my beautiful Princess is turning 8.
When she was born it was a true blessing and a real miracle.
She arrived early at 4 pounds 8 ounces!
Every year I make something for the season. Usually snowmen. I don't know why. I just really like them.
This year I made a clay pot snowman.
The first attempt wasn't just what I wanted, so I had to re do it. It took all week of sanding, painting and creating. This is the final result.
I made the scarf out of my Dad's pajama pants.
I made the snowmans pants/hat band out of some old jeans of my husbands.
The hat and nose are clay. The clay was not the kind you have to bake, however... note to self, the baking clay is much better.
Anyhow, that is what I have been doing this week.
We have one more school week and then we are off for two weeks.
I can't wait!
I hope you are enjoying the holiday season!
