Shoebox Finishes

I just cannot resist making a little handmade for the Shoeboxes we fill for Operation Christmas Child.  The girl box has a handmade doll blanket in her baby's shoebox cradle.  While the boy box has a handmade frog trying to escape!  The frog is a free tried and true pattern from the archives of Purl Soho.  I only pray that the children who receive these boxes experience part of the joy I had making them!  They are feel good Friday Finishes!  Jessica Pearl

  2. What a lovely idea. We've done shoe boxes so many times and I've never thought to make things for them, that seems stupid and terrible after seeing your post! Next time now...
