Jake and I went to the Dickens Festival today with my Brother Cade, his Fiance Emalee, and her little brother. We had all been to the Santa's Workshop the weekend before at the Dixie Center, and Emalee and I saw these head bands that we both wanted, but didn't get, so we decided if we saw them this time we would get them! They are kinda like a beanie, but not in full, I think they are crocheted,they have a little flower on them and they button in the back, they are super cute! So then we get walking and Jake spots this little booth that is handmade wooden toys well they had a Track hoe, Backhoe, and a Road Grader(I think that's what it is) and I do have to admit, we were all impressed! There was no plastic, no metal involved just all wood, and the detail that these had, they maneuvered so smooth! Truly art, this guy is amazing at what he does! Well I thought for sure we would be leaving with at least one of them but when we asked the price of the Trackhoe....$225.00 :O maybe one day....but probably not anytime soon! So besides the Dickens Festival I have been busy being very crafty at home! I made some Christmas stockings for Jake, Addison and I- by the time I got done cutting out the pattern for the first one, I was ready to be done! But I stuck in there and finished all three, I don't know how Amanda did 12 for her family! Amanda and I also made some Christmas Countdown Blocks, I had found a tutorial online, but if you would like to make them, her link is on my blog, and then from there she has a link to her craft blog. It was really easy!
