Nightmare Before Christmas T-shirt Applique

3:40 PM
Another Halloween project--sewing a simple applique on a t-shirt. It's been fun this year that my little guy is excited for Halloween, and this was a quick 15 min project that made his little day and served as a potty training prize.  Luckily, things are clicking and I hope we'll be done potty training here in a few days! Anyway, here's our scary shirt to show...

Nightmare Before Christmas Painting

5:00 AM
Acrylic painting 12x12 on canvas I recently watched Nightmare Before Christmas and I just love that movie. Since I've been in Halloween mode lately, it was on the brain.  My little guy wanted to paint, so I grabbed a 12x12 canvas I'd bought at Big Lots a while ago to make a quick simple painting for Halloween decor I guess. I know it's...

Grapevine Birdcage: Creepy for Halloween

10:56 AM
I know it's a little early, but my son has been really into Halloween lately, kind of his first awareness since he's only 2 1/2.  I don't think he knows what the holiday will actually be, but whenever he sees any Halloween stuff in stores he yells and points. So I pulled out my few Halloween decorations early. I had made this birdcage...

This post is featuring a quilt made my mom. My son loves airplanes, and this is his new bedspread she made him. Amazing right? I had been collecting fabrics to make him a little quilt, and she said she'd been planning an airplane quilt too and wanted in on it.  So I just mailed her the fabric I had and we talked about...

Leap Frog Letter Factory Flash Cards

5:00 AM
I've really enjoyed Leap Frog's educational DVDs, mainly the Letter Factory that teach sounds each letter makes . I've been looking online for flashcards that coordinate with the alphabet characters in the DVD for a while, and couldn't find any, so made some myself. So far they've been great, and I was actually surprised how many sounds my son knew from watching the DVDs. ...
