sick of it always being about the girls?


Finally! My sister in law Tess brought THIS little design to my attention and we are now on the lookout for patterns (if you know of one e-mail soon!) It isn't that we don't love making things for little girlie's- it is just sad when you feel like your son has nothing handmade from his mother or for those friends of mine who only have boys and are forced to crafts for girls outside their immediate families. We are going to try to make some and post the results next week. I am on a crafting hiatus it seems so the productivity has slowed immensely! Don't give up on me- my crafting high is just around the corner I know it!

Amber, I made a tie for Kevin. It was super cute. I just used an old tie for the pattern. I spent hours looking for a simple pattern online and never found anything great. So I disassembled an old one. It worked great!
