one

i made another freezer paper shirt! this one was for the aforementioned birthday boy. i went simple with a J, for jude, on the front and 'one', because he turned one year old, on the back!

seriously, how can we all not want a cricut... oh! and apparently they can cut fabric too... applique anyone??

monster stuffie

This little man's birthday was last week so we made the trek to SoDak to help him celebrate. A little handmade stuffie was in order for the birthday boy. cute, huh?? i found the pattern a long time ago and have been waiting to use it.

i am not even joking that this took me maybe 45 minutes to complete. do you see that i struggled to zig zag stitch around the eyes?? i decided it was ok because it is a monster and they are supposed to be crazy!

love the little heart!

probably the only time in my life that i could literally feel my heart swell - nothing better than something you made getting love. happy birthday sweet boy!
