We have been busy...

My Honey and I have been busy this past week-end. The Littlest Princess is liking to play things using her imagination-we already have "the little cupboard", I was going to get my old doll crib down for her to play with and we decided instead to make one.

Working together, we took a pattern from the old one and traced it onto the wood, honey did all the cutting and building. He thought it should be "tweaked a little" so we did another. We both painted them off white...

We sent one to the Littlest Prencess' house and kept one here.

Mommy, Princess and I went to the sticker store and got some that we liked to decorate them...

Here is the one they took home;


And here is the one that will stay here...




I just need to make a mattress and pillow for each of them and maybe a little doll blanket if I get really ambitious...
Honey and I are thinking about making some more of them, and having a craft sale in our drive way in Sept. and seeing if other people are interested in buying them.
We always had "imagination toy's" when we were young and our kids had mostly "imagination toys" too...
Littlest Princess has been playing with them for 2 day's now and is having a ton of fun with them!!
And for those times when she is feeling the need to "fly" around the house. We have been using an old dish towel, but I tried my hand at making an honest to goodness cape-I always wanted one myself, I was an old bath towel or dish towel flyer myslef, and I made one for the boy's for when they were feeling like "Supermen" .
She especially likes to jump on the bed and watch it fluttering in the mirror...
We have other Little Princes and Princess' who need these too-and we have BIG Princes' and Princess' who need us to think of things for them-as we do I'll post them too. Also we are open to any hints, suggestions and input as Honey and I try to think of things that we spent hours having fun with, that other's might like too.
Honey and I are thinking about adding them to that "Craft Sale List"...
Who knows, maybe some one will want some before Fall-and we'll be in business!




Imagination is a beautiful thing!!! Find way's to use yours and encourage others!!!
