Gifts for My Girls - Part 3

Last May, Jodie and I met up in Hood River, Oregon to celebrate Mother's Day together. One of our activities was to go out to an alpaca farm. We fed the animals and looked around Foothills Yarn & Fiber. Among the many spinning wheels and weaving looms, I found these adorable finger puppets that the owner knit.


For Jeanne, a bear.


For Julie, a penguin of course.


For Jodie, an alpaca. A little reminder of our wonderful weekend together.

In March/April, I made perler bead gifts inspired by items I found on Pinterest.
