show and tell

Here are more handmade gifts I made this Christmas..

Art for my sister inspired by this site

Taken from my cache of preserved goodies I made this fall.. Cinnamon applesauce, tomato sauce, pickled garlic, earthy spiced tomato jam, hot pepper jelly and pickled hot peppers!

 A bird bath for the garden made from an impression of a banana leaf. This was really fun- a different medium for me and I felt a little like a sculptor patting down the hand mixed cement :)
