Little Dudes 1st Birthday Party

The main reason for coming to California was to celebrate the "little dudes" 1st birthday.
It was a wonderful party and their mother's did a fantastic job in creating a fun party.


The theme they pick was Construction Zone.
From the cake to activities for the kids was so very creative.
I wanted to share some of the clever ideas they had.


My daughter took a sheet cake she purchased at Costco and added some of her own additions. She put a couple of toy Cat trucks on top and added crumbled up Oreo cookies minus the centers.

Refreshments were served in toy trucks.


Fruit kabobs were named Rebar.


Chex mix was called Gravel


Dip was Concrete  Mix and chocolate covered donuts were Truck Tires.


Activities for the kids were bubbles, trucks and these.


Small sandbox with construction truck.

 
They took boxes and covered with plain paper and drew what looks like bricks. The kids would stack them up and then with a soccer ball inside a garbage bag strung up from a tree, which would be the wrecking ball.


They had so much fun.



The little dudes had safety vest and hard hats but they would not keep hats on.


I made the boys their vests and put their name on the back, the boys looked so cute.



They had made a frame for guests to have their picture taken.
All the kids received a hard hat with their name and then had prop hats for the picture taking.
So cute.


Then the Happy Birthday banner was strung up from highchair to highchair.


Ben just loved the colorful felt letters.
Happy Birthday my little grandsons.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
