well here i am, following the trend and starting my own blog. I guess i thought it might be fun to share my life with whoever might be interested. So many blogs inspire me so much so maybe our life could inspire someone too or at least make them laugh (at me of course)
most likely this will include a lot of crafting! and if I' m lucky Josh will let me share some of his great creations with you all!
So lets just jump right in!
here is a pic of some little people i made for the kids for Christmas:
I made them from these little wooden bowling pins i found at A.C. Moore and then of course felt. they were really fun to make and the kids are still playing with them! that's pretty good. my favorite is the little bearded man because he looks like josh and the kids love that!
I guess I should rename this post Christmas show-off! but i have to show these things off somehow. Josh and I worked our butts off and it was worth it to have our first handmade Christmas! It was so fun working together. the walrus was a Josh design and i just stitched it and stuffed it! This was for Elijah. All the kids got one but i still need to take pictures of those ones. (an owl, a whale, and a bird) So i guess I need to get taking more pictures!
These are silks i dyed with kool-aid. I found the tutorial on another blog and if anyone wants the link i believe i could find it. this were tons of fun and relatively cheap compared to buying them full price. I actually love playing dress-up with these. the kids and i will just walk around the house all day with one of these tied around our waist or head. it just feel FANCY!
Right now i am making leg warmers for the girls out of sweater sleeves! (I know sooo challenging!) but they are so excited and they will look so cute wearing them ice skating!
