This week I'm working on a new banner for Owen's quickly approaching 2nd Birthday.
I'm also repairing the thrifted box of blocks I found on my thrifting expedition. I anticipate some more wood-burning in my future! Yay!
I'm still slowly working on getting all the blocks cleaned, sanded and beeswaxed. They're turning out beautiful and irresistible to play with.
And some more toy repair. We've had this Amish made tractor and wagon since Michael was a toddler. It was drawn on, dented, scratched and dirty. Silly me didn't take a picture of the "before", (bad blogger!) Also the wagon peg to attach to the tractor had long ago fallen off and was held together by a ribbon. So it was loved on this week: cleaned, sanded, beeswaxed and a new peg glued in. It's now a fully functional tractor and is causing a few tug-o-wars lately. Owen found some logs in the new block set and has been hauling them for a week.
Until next time...
