Day 7
Today you get a sneak peek at Elle Belle's birthday present.
This year, I want to do something handmade for each girl's birthday.
Something beautiful and absolutely unique to them.
A quiet book is the perfect gift for
Little Miss January.
To be forthright, I was slightly dreading the process.
Long, tedious work.
After I began, it turned into the most satisfying project I have ever worked on.
It is an grown-up version of art & crafts
free play.
My imagination is my only limit.
True, it is long work, but when I think about how much she will enjoy it...
well, it makes every stitch worthwhile.
(PS Olive discovered my creation. She has already placed an order for her birthday.)
Can I place an order as well :) I can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI am with Carrie -- I want one of those too!
ReplyDeletethis was my wish for Christmas...homemade gifts. Unfortunatley, Brad was the only one whom I had time to make, So Brody will get his homemade bike basket for his birthday and Milo will get his quiet book probably for St. Patrick's Day :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie & Rachel, way to labor intensive to do it for anyone unless they came from my womb.
ReplyDeleteYvette, I gave on handmade Christmas and converted into handmade Birthday. What did you make Brad?
