Flashback Friday & Sew Crafty Friday-Scarecrow Family
A recent project brought to mind a fall many years ago. My oldest son and I had decided to create a fall display representing our family. We gathered old clothes from each family member and set to work. We made scarecrows to represent my husband and the 2 boys. When we made my likeness we included a slightly larger belly because that year I was pregnant with my daughter. We received many a comment from … Continue reading
