I absolutely love handmade gifts- everything about them. In fact, some of you may remember a post I wrote last year right after Christmas about just how much I heart them. Well, I made a few more this year, (not even close to as many as I was hoping to make!) but since the only recipients I know for an absolute certain do not read my blog happen to be my little munchkins, I thought I would show you what I made them this year. So, blog, meet Spaceboy and Robot. Robot and Spaceboy, blog.
I saw this pattern from Wee Wonderfuls at one of my local quilt shops, Quiltique, a while back and have been planning on making it for Christmas. If you know me in real life, you know that I have about 50 projects that I am 'planning to make' at any given time. But this time, it actually happened!
I whipped up these little stinkers for my little stinkers last week and was so excited about how they turned out.
Aiden has been obsessed with robots since I've known the kid, and since this one has an A on it, it should be a hit. He's easy to please.
The 'Junior Spaceman' part is a little family joke. It's hard to explain without hearing Canon say it, but trust me- hilarious.
So anyway, here is little sneak peek at our handmade holidays. Just don't tell the munchkins, whatever you do. I may have already spoiled their Christmas by spelling their presents on the phone to my mom. What 5 year old kid can understand L-e-a-p-s-t-e-r-t-w-o and d-i-g-i-t-a-l-c-a-m-e-r-a when they are spelled really fast?? My mom didn't even know what I spelled! Darn it.
I told him I was joking.
Pretty sure he's too smart for that.
There sure is a lot riding on Spaceboy and Robot.
Good luck, boys.
