  1. So many creative mamas!!! And thanks again Tonya for the reminder!! I so want to participate in the handmade holiday---- but with a cross country move in the works, this upcoming homebirth, child-rearing and training the others, general homekeeping and so much more I will just finally say that I won't be involved in actually making something (this year) but will live through each and every other creative mamas who have a bit more time! I def. love checking in on you and seeing you post all these wonderful ideas---- I am copying your journal idea and writing inspiring ideas down for next year! Hopefully I won't be pregnant again ;)

    Thanks Tonya!

  12. A gaiter is like a scarf, except it is in a circular shape to fit around your neck.

  16. Hi Tonya!
    I just wanted to thank you again for inspiring me (and so many others!) with your handmade holiday 2010! I have been having so much fun planning and implementing my ideas into wonderful gifts for my family. I have been trying to post something new that I am working on each week, it seems like time is flying by with fresh Autumn mornings here already! I am nearly finished with my baby's first doll and have made several other wooden toys! So exciting! http://invitationtothebutterflyball.blogspot.com/2010/09/wip-toys-for-baby-handmade-holiday.html

    Thanks again for letting me be a part of all the fun!
