Nap Mat

It's not pretty, but it's something for E to sleep on at Gigi's house. I used a cheap twin size sheet and 4 cheap pillows. I made it so the pillows can be taken out and the sheet can be washed. Working on another one this week! I put the initial on the bottom so they wouldn't be laying their heads on them. They might actually stay on that way. :)

Silhouette

I saw this silhouette idea somewhere and knew that I really wanted it for E's room, next to his newborn handprint and footprint. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out, and I was so thrilled to start and finish a project in one day!!!

Key Rack

We used to have a key dish, until a certain little trouble maker got too tall and could reach it on our entry table. I saw the key rack on this blog, and I knew that's what I wanted. However, the space for mine is too small, so I had to go vertical. I would have preferred the other way, but I like the end result and we have a place to hang keys!

In its spot.

A picture outside, because the lighting inside was bad.

Car Wallet

Saw this idea on Etsy - it took a long time to figure out how to make it, but now that I've done one I think I can do it faster and better.

"1" onesie

Made this for J's 1st birthday party - Dr. Seuss themed! The only difference between this and E's "1" shirt is that I stitched around the edges with a zig zag because I'm not sure if the mom would want to keep it or not so I wanted to make it a little more durable. I love the colors and I'm so excited to party!

Art time - summer handprints

I saw this on pinterest and knew I had to do it after our beach vacation. Those shells are from our sunrise walk on the beach at Hilton Head! E is getting MUCH better about letting me do handprints!

Terrarium

A student gave me some succulent plants for my birthday since we were studying our plant unit in science. I decided the best way to present them would be a terrarium. I had it all nice and layered, but some little hands found their way into the bowl and pulled up one of the plants (thankfully, it wasn't the cactus!). So, I tried to fix it but now it doesn't look quite right. I'm hoping the plants will fill in and it will make a cool display to have in my classroom!
