Road Rage

I spent about three nights painting Thomas' room and making curtains for it.  It came together pretty well and the best part is:  he loves it!  So, I'm not very good at taking pictures but this is what I've got.

Since this boy is so obsessed with cars/trains/trucks/buses/tractors, etc, I made the border a road for him to drive his cars on.  

I got him a new shelf to put toys and books in so that they don't have to take over my living room anymore.  Phew!  

These are the curtains, cute fabric huh?

Those cars, etc. that you see on the road are wooden ones that I found at the craft store.  I put some velcro on the back and on the wall so that Thomas can re-position them on the road wherever he wants.  He loves those things.

I'll be doing Jonathan's room next.  I've already painted it, but I need to get it put together before any pictures show up on here.

Glove Puppies

I found this book at the library...

and made these guys for my twin nephews for their birthdays.

They are so easy to make and so cute!  Oh and the bonus is, they're super cheap!  I'm making a few more of these for Christmas presents so I'll try to take pictures of the process.

Sock Monkeys

I made each of my boys a sock monkey for Christmas - Jonny LOVES his!

Too many monkeys jumping on the bed!

I was going to just buy the pair of socks and make them from scratch using an online pattern but I found a kit in the kids crafts section of Joann's for $8 that included everything from the buttons to the fabric for the hat on their heads.  It was pretty easy but since I had never made a stuffed animal before- it took a bit longer than I had anticipated.  But it was so worth it!

Black Apple Dolls

I love these!  Super easy and super cute!

I learned how to make these by going to this site.  It has a tutorial and a free pattern.  So much fun!
