Ornaments made by my kids when they were growing up; some of them are milkweed pods with angel hair. I made the collage.

I made this wreath 2 years ago for my living room, using old large format film and canister that I still had in my freezer from my school photography days. The other ornaments came from Hobby Lobby. I made the bow. I will post ornaments made by my kids and Grands later. Great topic for this time of year!
Very very clever Roxie.

I used to make many different things from quilts to clothing. Now "Home Made" takes different turns. I really like to wrap and make gift baskets. Unfortunately, I don't have any pix of gift baskets.

Fun topic! I am going to honor my husband's late grandmother. We are fortunate to have been gifted with a box of her ornament creations the year we were married. She passed a couple years later. I have always thought these were such creative uses for left over odds and ends! Back in 2013 I decided I had better document their existence. Thanks for hosting!

Pg. 2 - Nicely presented, Pat. It looks like you're ready to wrap it up...

Pg. 2 - Haymaker, everyone one of these creations is amazing. Your hubby's
grandmother had a marvelous gift and obviously was extremely talented.
Those are true family heirlooms.

These just great - Will have to go along with Rolk comments also - What a great thing you have done to save these and to pass on to the next generations. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful thing. Bob

My Daughter-in-law requested the twins get a pair of shelves,
just like the ones I made for big brother Avery .... so I decided they would make a nice
Christmas present....
She doesn't come on here, so the secret is still in the bag!

We stopped along the roadway on the way home from our Thanksgiving & collected a batch of Milk Weed pods.
