So, what do I do when I'm stuck inside, watching movies and Dora all day, I crochet! I made Brielle this tulip hat (this picture really doesn't do the hat justice. It really is pretty cute).
Then I really got crazy and made her this little beanie with a humongous flower bow. I know, it's a little obnoxious, but still pretty cute.
Still bored, I decided to start sewing. A friend of mine just had her first baby girl, so I made her this taggie blankie and coordinating burp cloth.
Then I decided to make Brielle a taggie because I had a fat quarter of a fabric that I fell in love with a few months ago and I didn't know what to do with it, so I put it to good use with this project and she loves it!
I also had to make more Young Women birthday gifts. We have 71 Young Women in our ward. We decided to give the girls a value-colored scripture bookmark. The message on the front says, "The scriptures are very “value-able!” We hope that you enjoy this value-colored scripture bookmark. "For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them." 2 Ne 4:15 We love you and hope you have a great birthday!
This project has been frustrating from the beginning. If you remember a while back I posted that we were going to give the girls value-colored chap sticks, and I ordered 75 of them in December just before the church announced that the YW Theme was being updated with a new value. The addition of the new value is awesome, but man!, that was frustrating. So we had to come up with a new b-day gift on the fly and this is what we came up with in January. I think it came together pretty well; this project has been time consuming, but worthwhile.
My friend Gina gave me a brilliant idea to make car and truck stickers and stick them to the boys' ceiling fans. It turned out so cute. Thanks Gina for the great idea. The boys love it! Here is a pic of the boys room just before I put the stickers on...
and here's are some pics of the fan...
