Farm Made Gifts

December was a busy month for us on the farm. We decided to make homemade gifts for our family. We love re-purposing and salvaging things to use on our property and in our home.

My creative and resourceful Farmer made Rubber Band Riffles for 3 nephews. He used salvaged boards and spray painted them bright colors. They looked great!! (This is a picture of the guns he made for our little Farmer Boys. They have seen a lot of use!)

While my Farmer was working in the barn on Christmas. I was digging through scraps to make my niece a little rag doll. I took some inspiration from the Toy Ads. I found a plastic doll made to look like a rag doll.  Why not make a soft cuddly doll instead? I had so much fun sitting at the kitchen table sewing this little Dollie.

Scrappy Rag Doll

Every Rag Doll needs a quilt. So I went back to my scraps and found a few bright fabrics and little bit of ric rac. Here is the little scrappy stacked coin quilt I came up with.

We found a huge box to fit all of our Farm made gifts and sent them off to family.

My Farmer and I were so excited to hear that they loved our little gifts.
