it's that time of year again, when i go through my yarn stash and think of projects and start making a list of gifts to make. in addition, this year i want to make some stockings for for my new roomie, myself, toulouse, maybe the corgi puppies, and various decorations. this means that i need to get started yesterday...
these days i find the fun gifts to make or give are for my cousin's kids and little emilee. today i was reading one of my favorite blogs maya*made (her own work is gorgeous and she has an adorable etsy shop) and she posted about a lovely online shop called wild apples. wild apples sells hand-crafted wooden toys and they remind me of some to the toys we had growing up. i'm thinking, in addition to what i'm already planning on making the kids, these would fun to give. there is a part of me that knows the kids would probably prefer barbie's or lego's, but these are really special!
