i decided to add more things to my etsy shop and to facebook to sell. part of my motivation is that there are so few little boy's accessories out there and the ones i have found are really expensive, my kids would never be well accessorized if i had to wait to be able to purchase any of them. designing my own will also give me something to put on my blog, a sense of satisfaction, get rid of all the material i have 'laying around' and in boxes in storage [i have enough fabric to start a fabric store!] and make a little cash to stash for a rainy day.

my first attempt at a felt hat......

now the felt doesn't have any give to it so i need to figure out how to make it adjustable. looks like i have a little experimenting to do!

senor froggie hat

newborn size- 3yrs $12.00

4yrs+ - $15.00

To order send me an email at starfaktor@hotmail.com and include the head circumference of the child it is being given to.

felt boards were always fun to play with as a kid. i remember all the fun shapes and stories my mom made for us to play with and wanted our kids to have the same kind of fun with learning. plus it will make for fun-er family home evenings and 'school time'. since xander is learning how to read and count we punched out letters and numbers and glued them to the felt. we'll be adding more to our stash as we go along, but here's what we did this week:





felt board side one-dark blue [black was ubber expensive.. blue was on sale] and side two-white


clouds
waves
sun
stars
boat
tree[s]

MY GREATEST PROJECT YET!!! 9ish months in the making......
Sebastian Grey. What a blessing! And yes, even though I just gave birth, I was still making things.. go me! hahaha.. accually there was a lot of "down time" while the boys were sleeping and in between feedings. I was too bored to sleep. bored? with a new born and 2 year old?? yes. no. well, kinda. Our 2 year old plays by himself a lot and when he's sleeping I have "free time".

The project that I worked on this week is a board of the "be attitudes" I got my inspiration from I am momma hear me roar -a fellow blogger. Her blog is AWESOME [way better than mine!!] go and check it out! http://iammommahearmeroar.blogspot.com/2010/03/be-sign.html

Again, her version of this is WAY better than mine, but I think mine will do :) It now has a home on our piano as aprt of our apartment remodel/makeover :) more to come !!
