I think the main hanging part was made from an old curtain I bought at an opshop and I decorated it with pink flower sequins. And the background, which covers the stand, is a cotton princess print material I used as my theme.
For my nephew I wrote a story called "CLUNK: Fixer of Broken Things" about a robot who thought he wasn't good at anything. Of course, through the book he discovers that he's good at fixing broken things. The pictures are pretty roughly illustrated as I was running out of time before Christmas. I've come to learn that most projects I undertake take longer than expected.
I then made him a costume to wear so he could dress up as Clunk, the main character. He was a little bit hesitant to put it on at first. In fact, his younger brother had to try it on before he got enough courage together to put the box over his head. But once he did that he really liked it. I'm making some presents this year too. Well, actually one is a birthday present but I won't post them until they've been given.

I started out with a list of things I was going to knit for everyone. Of course, I included Everyone, and had so many things to knit, I never really did any. I did Jasmine's pinwheel and Nathan's hat, but frankly, I just want to knit stuff for me and the kids Ü
ReplyDeleteToo many people. Too little knitting time.
I'm keeping my list, though. Perhaps I'll make it by next year. Starting after Jasmine's birthday, of course!
Oh, the lake idea was good, btw, except I can't fit both prams into the boot. Well, I can, but it takes quite a bit of work. lol. I'll have to find a fold-up pusher some time.
I really like your creative presents! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe robot story reminds me a bit of "The Lost Thing" by Shaun Tan. If you haven't read it, you really should hunt it out next time you are in a children's book store.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing I like better than a good robot!
