It is that time of year already. The weather is cooling and everyone is thinking about the upcoming holidays. As you make up your gift lists for the year, think about how you can bless each person with something homemade and recycled.
Children are especially easy to make gifts for. A specially made toy or clothing item can make their eyes light up with joy. Gifts that are sewn by you can be easily monogrammed or made with carefully chosen fabric to match a child’s tastes.
