oh my gourd!

This year's homemade handmade for littles is a culmination of a year's work. Growing gourds in the garden, drying them out, drilling and sanding each one and painting the outside and inside before filling them with a few sweet wooden peg people. The kids were a part of the process the whole way which made me so happy. I envisioned us doing at least 20 of these and we only managed to do four, but I am so happy that it was such a fun progression.

I hope they bring friends as much joy to play with them as we had making them... Happy Crafting!
