Made in the USA

Nate has received some gifts that are bona fide homemade pieces of art. Take for example these veggie stuffed toys created by our co-worker Shannon (she's crafty!)...

She asked which veggies I'd like her to make, and I THOUGHT I gave her impossibly challenging ones, but evidently cute stuffed peapods and corn on the cob are not out of the realm of her talent. You should see the Godzilla costume she sewed for her husband on Halloween...

Who needs home heating oil when you've got warm handknit sweaters from Aunts Sue and Irene? Take that, KeySpan Energy Delivery!


Aunt Lynda 'whipped up a few pillows just before she visited' us in December. These are only a few of them:

I made a pillow once. Took me all weekend.

I'm impressed with all you folks who start projects and then actually finish them. I am missing this particular gene (mom's fault). Thanks for the goodies!
