Tooth Fairy Pouch

My five year old son lost his first tooth the other night. I asked him if he wanted me to make something to put it in, and he helped me pick out this little tooth fairy bag. I found the tutorial here, from Purl Bee.

He was very excited to find a dollar coin inside in the morning!

My son was wondering when the eggs were going to hatch into baby birds. :)

Giraffe Birthday

My baby boy turned three last week. I can't believe how big he is getting. He requested a "Ralph" cake, who is his giraffe lovey he has had for forever. So here is the cake I decorated for his birthday.

Story Dice

Another project I have had bookmarked wanting to make for a while, are some story dice. I also made these for 2 of my nieces.

I gave them a little notebook to record their stories, and a little bag to keep the dice in.

The only other thing I crafted for a Christmas present was a rice bag I made for my 5 year old's Kindergarten teacher. I didn't get a picture of it, though. It was like these that I made earlier this year, but with Christmas fabric and some lavender oil in with the rice.

Star Crayons

I have been wanting to make these star crayons, to recycle some broken crayons, for a long time now. I finally did for 2 of my nieces for Christmas.

They were really easy! I have a silicone star shaped muffin pan I bought just for this purpose that we put broken crayons in, then put them in the oven at 250 degrees for 5-10 min. Both of my boys helped fill the stars. My 5 year old was especially fascinated by the end result. Once they were cool and we popped them out, we had to make another set for ourselves. :)

Put a bow on top, and they are all ready to give as a gift.

Future Ballerina

Things are finally getting back to normal around here. I want to post the few things that I made for Christmas.

I made this for my sister, who had her baby a few weeks before Christmas.

It goes perfect with the shoes and blanket I already gave her.
