Fat Diggity Dog: Our first Fat Dog Farms sale round-up

The blog's been quiet lately because the first full week of June I was pouring all my spare time into getting ready for our first semi-annual Fat Dog Farms garden and craft show. Then the week after that I've been recovering!

We had a blast! Fat Dog Farms is my dad and step-mom's "farm" / very large garden / "wonder emporium" (as my cousins like to call it) a 35 minute drive outside of Portland, OR.  It's been something that's been talked about for a while but we finally organized (and when I say "we" I mean mostly Michelle with a teensy bit of help from me) a garden & craft sale with stuff from local crafters / gardeners and it was an absolute blast.

Wood Toys

We're trying to convert as many of our son's toys as possible from plastic to wood mostly to reduce the number of toxins our family is exposed to on a day-to-day basis. I found some really cool wood toy kits at Michael's and had fun putting them together while watching Downton Abby on Netflix streaming.

They turned out really nice but a little bit small for a one year old. I used regular wood glue instead of the glue the kits came with (I trusted it better) but some of the pieces are small enough that they could be choking hazards if they ever broke off.

So I'll be selling them at the Fat Dog Farms spring garden and craft sale coming up next month (which, by the way if you live in or near Portland, Oregeon, I would love for you to come to! Click the link to see the details.)
