This year's Christmas gifts will be all things homemade. Green tomatoes from our garden cooked and canned into Green Tomato Relish. Sunflower seeds grown just outside our back door will mix with bird seed for each family's personalized bird seed bag which were also homemade.
The first of many, I had to try out the hair-brained idea of birdseed bags with our last name. After that first bag, I listed them in my Etsy store Wildwood Floral to see if anyone would buy them. Wouldn't you know it, the next day I had an order!
Ready, set, GO!
Seventy-nine bags cut out - an accomplishment worthy of a photo!
Mom's old sewing machine still going strong! A gift from her dad when she was my age, this is one of my favorite gifts from her.
The weekend was spent holed up in the basement, covered from ears to toes in burlap fuzz. Seventy-nine bags and fifteen orders later, I still love them!
Now instead of counting down the days until Christmas in fear of finding the perfect gifts, I can't wait for it to come!
