WOOD UNIT BLOCKS...Easy-n-cheap!!!!!

Last Christmas, Huz made a set of kindergarten wood unit blocks for Lo. It was so simple! Just a matter of buying 4xwhatevers of pine, following a spec chart, doing the math, ripping the wood and sanding with a belt sander. Lo was amazed by this gift handmade by Daddy and has been incorporating them into her play almost on a daily basis for the past year. Here's a quick schematic and you can find instructions for making your own HERE.

I've really enjoyed seeing so many blogger's Christmas tree ornament posts! It's interesting to get a little insight into people's personalities and histories. Thought I would share a few of ours over the next few days:

Every year we make a set of Christmas ornaments to send to family and friends. Here's this year's batch. Wool wet and needle felted using cookie cutter shapes. The bear is my fav.


Every year at least one of us gets an REI ornament that showcases our love for the outdoors.
