Hooded Towel

Sad that she's almost too big for this one, but it was fun to make. Instructions at Prudent Baby.

Nifty Thrifty

Here are some of my recent vintage and thrift acquisitions:

Game board, circa 1943

Pair of pillowcases & notions (I love that word)

Set of 12 wooden community helpers

You've Got Mail (Boxes)

Painted chip-board mailboxes for K and K. The little flags go up and down, and the fronts open for goodies to be stored inside. I glued foam hearts on the fronts for added dimension.
TIP: It is much easier to paint hearts upside down. Who knew?

Gesundheit

Tissue holders! So easy to make and CUTE!!! Maybe now I'll have tissues handy in the car, instead of just a squished box on the back seat floor board. Tutorial from Bella Dia.

Paper Apron

Ironically, the same week I made my aprons, K made one at school. When asked what her apron would be used for, she obviously had a clear purpose in mind. Just not what you'd expect....
