My Christmas Project

I don't know what made me think of this idea, but once it was in my head I couldn't get it out. I decided to make stick-horses like we had as kids for my nephew and niece for Christmas. It ended up being quite the endeavor. The "pattern" my mom had was just pieces of clothe she had cut out. So we spent a day trying to figure out what it was supposed to look like, based completely on a picture of Jed and De on their horses when they were Reid and William's age:

Now that I've done a couple, it wouldn't be too hard to do again. I had fun and hope they will be used with as much love as we had for ours. The red one was made for Gavin and the White-haired one was made for Michael's niece Julia. She loved it!
