Mark made some "Zen Blocks"—wooden rocks—for my dad who loves stacking rocks.
Stitched notecards like this one I made earlier.
Mark also made toy chests for the nieces and nephews (and I put their names on them).
Hot Cocoa using this recipe, scaled up. And scented sachets filled with lavender and pineapple-coconut tea (mmm, tropical!). For the tropical scented sachets I used the same upcycled sheet with the spring-floral pattern that I used for the belt on this dress. I still would like to make a vintage-style apron from the rest of it...
Printed notecards following this ingenius tutorial. Using only a styrofoam tray and a pencil, printed on salvaged paper samples. Quite possibly the first time I followed through on making something after pinning it... Almost forgot to spell joy backwards; though it would have been funny to wish people a Christmas full of YOJ.
You're just too crafty! These all turned out amazing, and the names on the toy boxes look so great!!

p.s. Um, have I mentioned before how much I wish we lived closer?! Just saying.
