Projects



I think little ties are absolutely adorable, and after being inspired by many other blogs, I decided I was going to make one for Justin. (but in my own way) I didn't want to go buy elastic and was pretty sure velcro would last all of two seconds before he pulled it off, so I improvised. I altered an old tie so that it would be the right size for Justin and can just slip over his head just like a regular tie. He wasn't impressed at first, but has decided it's a great chew toy. (so glad I took Jason's advice and washed the tie!) It's totally worth the effort to see how adorable he looks in his little church clothes every sunday.


I'm also in the process of making a quiet book for Justin, but it keeps getting pushed aside for homework and laundry. Currently most of the book only exists as thumbnails in my sketch book, but I did manage to make a couple of flower finger puppets for one of my page ideas the other day. I want to do a lot of finger puppets for the book and was experimenting in how to best make them, so each one is a little different.

He loves playing with them, and they might actually survive since he hates how the felt feels when he tries to eat them. (:e

His tie is so adorable! He's a little man all ready for church. I can't wait to see your quiet book all finished. I always wanted to make one-but almost 4 kids later and still-nothing:) I think it's because sewing scares me.
