Reindeer Construction...

 Is once more underway

I have been making these silly things for almost 30 years. 😂 Every year I am certain there isn't anyone I haven't given them to and every year new recipients emerge.

Last year I gifted 5...to adults...and you should have seen the laughter and delight. I've even had people offer to pay me to make them, but I just make them for fun. So, silly or not, I'm making them again.

A few weeks ago, DH was in town and stopped at a local cafe for lunch. Our mechanic was there and they visited a bit. Mark left and when DH went to settle up, his bill had been paid. 

So Mark is getting a reindeer and some Whiskey Praline Pecans.

And then DH thought we should give some to neighboring ranchers...so reindeer parts are being assembled

As pecans are roastimg...

I picked up 10# 

And yes, they will all be gifted with the exception of maybe 1 batch for our family to enjoy over the holidays.

I modified my antlers this year and also changed them from felt to foam

I wasn't able to find brown pom-poms for their tails and was about to settle for pink and dye them, but then I found these for $1 and they were perfect.

It took all day, but the pecans have all been roasted and the herd is complete.
