What's in a name

For Christmas this year a sweet 11 year old little girl with three brothers graced my list. I thought I would use Martha Stewart's idea for an ABC Pillow and take from being a 'child's gift' by adding in some pretty embellishments, including a hidden pocket for a journal.

To Infinity...and on to 12:00

My son had a little birthday to go to and his
little friend is a HUGE Buzz Lightyear fan,
since I knew everyone else would be buying him all the
cool Buzz gear you can get from the stores I wanted
to do something a little different so,
I decided we'd make him a B.L. watch.

I had a limited selection of colors for the felt so the colors
could have been better since he's really more white, green and purple,
but I think it really turned out well, considering.
I looked at Buzz pics online and tried to imitate as many
of his little features as I could.

Since this was quite a bit more involved and I wanted
to follow a theme I drew up a little plan of attack.
The final product wasn't too far from my original drawing either =)

Wallets of fun

For my nephew's birthday I wanted to give him some cash, since at 5 years old it's rather exciting to hold cash and get to pick out the toys you want from the store.

I didn't just want to throw $5 in a card though, so we made him a wallet to cleverly double as a gift and the gift's wrapping.
