How about making up a story for him and "illustrating" it with magazine cutouts? I keep meaning to do this for my kids. <BR/><BR/>LeahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-75367193782849318142007-10-23T12:06:00.000-05:002007-10-23T12:06:00.000-05:00Krissy, I'm not buying jewelry.

Hmmmm...me thinks it may be time to regift. <BR/><BR/>Ohhhh and puppets are a good idea. I could use fabric paint instead of sewing the faces. I found some finger puppets I want to make for the big kids, but I hadn't even thought about sock puppets for the wee one.Reizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411331845012114174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-16406637589715314852007-10-23T00:34:00.000-05:002007-10-23T00:34:00.000-05:00I'm making chairs for the big kids this year (theo...I'm making chairs for the big kids this year (theoretically speaking. This all depends on if I can get pesimst to be a bit more "optimstic" about helping with housework...) <BR/><BR/>I'm also contemplating photo albums of family that's far away and making sock puppets (can't remember where I saw the directions, but I'll try to send them your way). If the faces were stitched instead of glued (that is, fake embroidery), they would even work for the baby. Maybe I could make sock puppets of family that's far away. The bald brother would be particularly entertaining...<BR/><BR/>I'd also like to make matching movie-watching blankets and popcorn bowls. Fleece blankets require no sewing. Or what about hats and scarves out of fleece. Also (nearly) no sewing (remind me to show you Tyrannosaurus's Cub's hat with the poof on top).<BR/><BR/>Your ideas kick buttocks. You're too creative by half. If you got all the creativity, can I have a bit of the height???Pixie LaRougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270240055485984237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-81127627574629330742007-10-22T20:11:00.000-05:002007-10-22T20:11:00.000-05:00My mom made me barrettes where she took a few diff...My mom made me barrettes where she took a few different colors of ribbon, braided them, glued them on the barrettes, left some of the ribbons dangle off the end and tie some beads at the end of them. They were my FAVORITE barrettes for the longest time.<BR/><BR/>Also, instead of getting them jewelryy, you could get them a kit where they can make their own jewelry. <BR/><BR/>Will def keep brainstorming for ya!Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058695927707849568noreply@blogger.com
