Kids present haul

 Kids had a good Xmas this year, its never small enough according to my husband, who can count on one hand the number of gifts he received his entire childhood, and is mostly the better for it.
Here are some stand out ones:


                                                 
                                                      wool felt pencil case for miss I

 
                                   beautiful melodic instrument fair trade from Sierra Leone                                 (made with wood scraps and a sardine can, fyi)
Naiima gets a Boba carrier
                                                                    and a high chair
 
                                               100% wool felted elephant from New Zealand
                              Z made this beautiful beeswax stained glass tree for my window at school
                                                      Bamboo wood plane, very cool
 
Z gets a fish, an orange Beta, and we name him Eel Francis, just like our old fish I accidentally cooked in tepid water. Better luck this time!
 
What cool and oustanding xmas gifts did your little ones get this year?

  2. I always have a hard time walking the line between enough for the expectation but not too much. Carl got a bow and arrow, a remote control car and he is getting a goldfish for his birthday!
