I have been crafting, sewing, baking and doing photography a bit more these days. Definatly something that relaxes me...away from the TV and the world. These mini buckets I made for work and Cooper is so excited to color eggs tomorrow. We are planning a weekend of Easter egg hunts and beach time.
Today I stopped by the Vitas Hospice office to pick up the teddy bears they made out of my grandparent's clothes. My mom had 3 made. One for Cooper, one for Grant and one for Grayson. I will surpise Kimmy and not show the ones for Grant and Grayson but here is Cooper's.
The blue fabric is from the dress my grandmother wore. The black from the dress she wore to Kimmy's wedding. The T Shirt is one of my Pop's bike riding race shirts.
Hope's clothes are still in a pile for this to be done for Nathan and Reese. It sends me over the edge of sadness to think of what her bears will looks like for the boys. Jake will do it one day...it's just still so hard.
I just want to give a shout out to my sister's friend in Texas who has this neat blog and website.
Where was she 2 years ago when I was making fontant monkeys for Cooper's 1st birthday?
I have a link on my blog to hers now too here on the side so if you are inspired like I was to use her free items....you can make fun stuff yourself too.
I made these for work and hope I get more referrals from them...I'll let you know ;)
