This little 6 day old sweetness will be shown more in full later once I am able to edit the images but here are a few teasers!!
The whole family!
Look at the sweetness!
Really mom the bald pup is on me.
And what is that you have there??? Is that for me???
Sweet little man slept like a champ. A gallery with more of sweet little JAS is on FACEBOOK now. Hop on over and see more of the little cutie!
I have gotten so much more done than this but well here are some highlights.
I cut wood
I turned said wood into a bed and I only hit my thumb once. But I could not locate my drill charge cord so I got to build this old school. Yeah - 2 inch nail lots of glue and a hammer. I couldn't even find the big hammer so I had to use one of the kids Lowes kiddie sized hammers.
Then I built another...
And thanks to my trusty helpers painted everything in the process of painting them.
Scrap fabric bedding!!!
What little lady isn't a shopkins fan?
Hopefully she isn't too bothered by my crappy hand embroidery work on the cookie pillows but that's not my best skill at all.
NOW - for the details. The plans for these cute little beds that basically ANYBODY can build. I mean seriously let your daughter build this. Or have your son build it for your daughter if looking for a good homeschool wood shop project.
The ANA WHITE website has detailed plans and instructions.
What is that you may ask? ok you know its a merry go round. That's an early Christmas gift because where the hell was I suppose to hide a merry go round?? And getting it delivered closer to Christmas wasn't going to be possible. Took a lot of looking to find a smaller version. This still holds children up to 12 years old only it is only rated for 4 kids where as the larger ones hold many more children. BUT they also cost a shit load more and take up a ton of yard space. I finally found a nice reasonably sized 4 foot one at this online retailer. We went with the simple 4 foot one.
Jackets aren't the easiest sewing project but they don't have to be the hardest either. This pattern by Puperita is very simple to put together. Fully doable for a seasoned beginner sewer. I used beautiful 95/5 cotton lycra custom knit prints for the exterior and a nice weight interlock from Chez Ami for the interior. Chez Ami closed up shop last year and I snagged a large amount of solid interlock for amazing prices. The particular jacket is a Christmas gift for the same little guy getting the Pokémon shirt in the previous post. It's a set :)
