Happy Valentine's Day!

So I can't say that this was my idea but I saw it on Pinterest.  I know, I know... who doesn't get their ideas there but hey I wanted to make them and I did.

My 3-D lollipop Valentine's card cost me about $5 for 25.  So I made custom cards for my son to hand out to his Pre-K class for about the same price as buying some tacky, cheesy ones that aren't very special.


I begged my son to stand with his arm out like this and snapped his photo in his nice dress t-shirt that I made him.  I did a little editing to add the graphics and then ordered them online through Shutterfly.  I think they are an adorable way to add something special and personal.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Toy Sling


Since I was blessed with boys this means that I cannot be the kind of stay at home mom who makes pillowcase dresses or giant flower headbands for my kids.  I am left being more creative to find things to make for my boys that are cool but functional.

We are working on turning their "bedroom" into a playroom.  We have taken off the bed frame and turned the bed into a couch.  We put a television in there just so they can watch their movies while we watch ours.  As it turns out they have more stuffed animals then I realized and needed somewhere to put them...

In came the Toy Sling idea.  I took some leftover fabric that I had from making their pajamas and turned it into a place to store their stuffed animals.  My original design was more of a pouch but you couldn't see what was in there and if you can't tell what you have then we might as well donate all the toys... so I made this...



This is the view from the bottom.  And it is a simple triangle and I have attached it by sewing button holes along the front and two at the back.  I used some mug hooks I got on sale from CVS and instant room changer... love it!



I really like it and plan to make a second one for the opposite corner since I didn't realize that they had some bigger ones that just don't fit in their right.  I will post pictures once their room is done.  We are planning on painting the walls since Franco decided to paint it with a sharpie one night...
