halloween diy

Kael's favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba. So this year he's dressing up as Brobee...

Old sweater of mine, spray fabric paint, and felt...


His first halloween!

the kael chair

I sketched the idea for this chair mmmm back in February. didn't get to the project until ooo, May. Wanted a cool modern chair for Kael. But also that wasn't going to cost me an arm and leg. So with help from hubby, we made a chair for Kael to sit in.

One of many sketches:




Some of the materials:

Just base made: He all ready loves it!


Finished: With an accent pillow & ugly doll too.


& first use... haha.

work...ing

wow. I deserve some lashings. Or no chocolate for a month. No posts for a year?? New jobs will do that I guess. Balancing an awesome new full time job, trips to daycare, making homemade healthy meals, and spending as much time possible with my little 1 and a half year old. Being a single mom 5 days out of the week with hubby's work schedule opposite of mine. And finally recovering after post-partum. That all has been a trial. How do some of those other awesome designer mommy's do it all, hehe.

Well, I made this blog to show off the stuff I like to do for my little guy. And it's time to get back to doing and posting. I've done a few projects these past months...

Zero

haha Kael's 6 months old and sleeping most of the night. And I've been able to find time to get back to my happy projects. Number Monster Zero is done and One is on the way.

number monsters

It's been quite awhile since the last on going project. Enter the Number Monsters. 0-9, each will be a unique monster with his or her own way of presenting their number. Here is the start of the set.

Nuzzles. Oh, these are just gorgeous, makes me want to buy a jigsaw. :) Found from the awesome grain edit blog. One of my design favs. Always great ideas there.

kael's room big

Where I got all his awesome stuff. Besides the homemade goodies. :) Ikea (of course) their kids stuff is wonderful and great prices. 2modern: I won the awesome elephant canvas from a nursery drawing a while back. I love their stuff, I've got an awesome wish list of things as Kael grows. Some of his eco-friendly toys I got from my registry at BabyEarth. They have a huge line of earth friendly and recycled merch for baby and mama.
