Birthday Gift

We are celebrating a family birthday this weekend, so I thought

that a fun thing for a toddler is THIS great fishing set.

I made it a little more girly, though.

I am also in the middle of a project that Grandma is helping out with -

FHE flannel board stories from the Book of Mormon.

You can download them HERE,

and I am using the technique described HERE to put them on felt.

Ya Da Da Dah!!

Announcing the completion of my big, secret project. I finally finished it on Tuesday afternoon, and one finger is still nursing a little sore spot from all the fabric tying. Behold the Happy Birthday banner. I took a few pics during the process, so if you're interested in a little more detail or a rough tutorial, let me know.

I am excited to use it next month - everyone's birthday is within 7 days of each other, so it will be up ALL WEEK LONG!

I didn't string it up too well, since it was just for a quick pic...stop by our house next month during b-day week for a better view.
