It was a cold and snowy morning, Mama was in the kitchen making breakfast with her
new Pot Holder Handles,
new Pot Holder Handles,
she turned around and saw, She was leaking breastmilk all over her nice new apron. She went and put on a pair of nursing pads
and then heard a knock at the back door.
On her way she thought : oh my! maybe it's a burglar. I should take something to protect myself....so she turned back to the kitchen and grabbed
She opened the door and to her surprise, it was a vampire, dripping blood from his fangs from his last kill! She took the spoon and plunged it through his heart! Mission accomplished. But now, what to do with this vampire carcass? She looked again at the teeth, gleaming redly in the dawning light. My, you know, those would make a really lovely necklace. She pried out the teeth with some pliers and made,
My it's been a busy morning, she thought! I've already killed a vampire, made a necklace and I still have to make POZOLE!
After she finished making her delicious Pozole, she had piles and piles of dishes to wash. This is going to take forever she thought...I need some dish cloths that will stand up to the job.
and she pulled them out of her dishcloth drawer. "What if the vampire's friends come looking for him? I'd better be prepared!" She went to her jewelry box and pulled out her handmade silver cross and fastened it around her neck.
"Hmmmm, now where did I put my silver plated spoon with the Power Of The Gnomes? These mythical little creatures surely could help in this situation!
But wait! What is that noise? Who could it be? Oh, its our lovely Nana awaking from her mid day slumber. She suggested that I hang up a sign...a banner of sorts.
Nana is also feeling a bit cold, so she laid down on her couch by the fire and wrapped up in her favorite quilted throw.
Nana thought....hmmmm... I feel so cozy by the fire wrapped in my beautiful quilt...I think I will send some amazing ( can you even believe someone made this guitar!) postcards to my friend for Christmas!
Being a practical, yet funky and stylish Nana, she wanted to help Mom with the evening's vampire fighting plan, but looked down ASTONISHED! No warm socks! and Snow In The Forecast For Tonight! she raced to find her warmest chunkiest socks and pulled on the first COLORFUL pair that caught her eye!
NOW she's ready to fight some vampires, she turned with her a FIERCE DETERMINED look on her face and put on her custom handmade pink Mary Jane slippers.
Oh Mama" she said as she walked out of the room, "What are you doing?" Mama was changing the baby into a cute little diaper.
After the baby was all fresh and clean, they went into the living room to play with Nana and much to their surprise, was non-other than Santa Claus!!
What was he doing here so early and YIKES, aren't we supposed to be decorating out tree with all our handmade ornaments?
'Well done', said Santa. 'I have an early present for both of you! It makes my heart glad that you have chosen to decorate your tree with handmade ornaments. Here is something I have made for each of you:
Mama and Nana both oohed and aahed over their gift! "And for baby", said Santa, "here is something to make him smile".
And they all lived Happily Handmade Ever After!
