Grampa's Shop

We are at the acreage for Spring break. This morning found the littles out in Grampa's work shop learning all about leather stamping. Grampa made them each a leather belt and let them choose their own design and stamps. They patiently practiced on a scrap piece of leather while Grampa took turns working with each of them, sizing their belts and showing them how to stamp. 



Joe was so excited to get started!


 




I left them in the garage to finish up and they came in soon after to show off their handy work. 

Each belt was unique and perfectly depicted each of their personalities. Camilla's was fun, stamped all over the place with a few chosen stamps, and stained purple. It was happy chaos, vibrant, and unique. Hyrum was more meticulous. He picked three stamps and made a perfect pattern, evenly spacing everything. Joe picked a whole bunch of different stamps and made a nice line with all of them. 

Grampa was finally able to tug out the girls bottom tooth. She was pretty thrilled!

And sometimes acreage life begs for dinner time naps. They had such a fun day!
