Now that the holidays are behind us, I can reveal all of the gifts that we made instead of buying! We tried to give thoughtful homemade and useful gifts this year. I think they were all loved! If not, I still loved making them! (With help with the Mr of course!)
First up is a growth chart for an adorable little baby! The Mr cut the board to length and stained it. Then, I used a cricut to cut out the vinyl for the numbers and name. Then I cut out the slashes for the markings.
The leggings were actually made from knee high socks! You just cut off the foot part, make cuffs from the part you cut off. And voila… cute leggings that you can still change diapers without taking off and for crawling around!
He drilled them, cleaned them out and stained. Here is the almost dried final product:
I am hoping that she will get lots of yummy baking out of it!
I received some great sustainable gifts! My husband’s family were so sweet and didn’t wrap some gifts and bought homestead kind of gifts! I got a butter churner, some bamboo toothbrushes and even a trail cam to keep an eye on some critters that sneak up around here!
And spoiler alert, I have some super amazing goals for 2017! I am beyond excited to share them! One is going to be adding lots more content on here! So excited!!
