I’ve made 32 sock cats and one chicken.

Seven went to Off The Bottle for sale. The rest went to neighbors who couldn’t afford gifts for their children because of the ill advised choices of 47.

Mom is writing a backstory for the website. I’ve created adoption certificates.

I can’t fix the government. I can’t stop the atrocities being committed by this government every day.

I can make soft, squishy cats. I can make Christmas happen for a handful of children who otherwise wouldn’t get anything.

I’m doing what I can.

Handmade Holidays

1 Comment

I’ve fallen into the trash panda handmade holidays.

If I can’t use it for it’s original purpose anymore but I can keep it out of a landfill I’m making decorations or gifts out of it.

All of these involved hot glue, bamboo toilet paper tubes (they are nicer than regular ones) and fabric scraps, broken ornament scraps, or cardboard scraps. I even used some parfait jars!

These use clean socks missing their mates, clean extra filling from a pillow, and thread.

I’m also using my quilling supplies to make ornaments:

All in all I’m spending the day surrounded by craft supplies and animals, driving coffee and making little things out of forgotten stuff.

It’s putting the joy back into my holidays.
