My oven Mitts
For my mom who didn't have any, I made her these oven mitts for Christmas. I made them by tracing other mitts on fabric, cutting out the traces, and sewing them together. Then I stuffed them. After that I had half an oven mitt. I did all that again and sewed the two halves together. After that I had one oven mitt!

Bush rat Beginning
Caleb's bush rat will be our first team creation to share. Living in South Sudan caused us to be creative with our gift giving. Caleb made Larissa a bush rat shoe scraper for her birthday from twisted wire and a scrub brush. Larissa didn't like having three inches of mud caked on her shoes from gardening so Caleb made her a cool little bush rat.
