My Boys Monday - Look What Hubby Made

Okay so technically this post is more about me than the boys...BUT one of the "boys" did make it!

The week before Christmas, John started disappearing into the garage with strict instructions that I was not to enter. I seriously had no idea what on earth he was doing in there.

Christmas morning I opened this:

Isn't it beautiful? I told him I would LOVE one like my best bud, Alisha has (HERE) and he made one. Alisha's had a mat for a  picture, but I love that all the thread is visible. It will look even better when I actually get all my thread into it! I love that my husband has found something creative that he likes to do...and that I benefit from. :o)

Pretty in Pink - Tutu

A couple weekends ago, we went to Austin for a little friend's 3rd birthday party. After some thinking I decided to make her a tutu.
I tried to get Munch to try it on (for sizing purposes), but he thought I was completely crazy. He wouldn't even take my bribes of cookies and candy! When I did finally convince him to put it on for a second, he looked a little murderous...so unfortunately no blackmail pictures were taken. Luckily, I got the sizing right, despite Munch's best efforts to deter me. I knotted ends and added ribbon, because I thought it added something fun and different.
