Dr. Seuss Birthday Lunch

We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday last week with reading books and watching some old Dr. Seuss movies.  The kids wanted a Dr. Seuss lunch.  This is what I came up with. 

I made PB&J sandwiches and cut them into a circle, with just a knife.  I then cut strawberries and bananas and put three of each onto a skewer with a cracker on the end.  I stuck the skewer into the sandwich.  For the whiskers, I used string cheese.  For the eyes and nose, I used Goldfish crackers.  All of these items are typical lunch food for my kids and it made a great sandwich.  Enjoy!  This would be great for a Cat in the Hat Birthday Party also.

Nightmare Hat

Somehow I agreed to make a hat with dreadlocks coming off of it for a man at one of the boutiques. I'm sorry, but never again will I agree to make a custom order hat like this one. I spent about 20 hours making it, had to buy a few scanes of yarn for it, and only made about 25 cents an hour for my efforts. I tried my best to create a hat that was only from the descriptions in that man's head. Once I gave it to him, they called to say it didn't fit just right and wasn't exactly what they wanted. I am not an expert at hat making, I can do a few things, but I will never again make a custom order hat like this one.

March Challenge - Green

The challenge for this month has been "Green" and that is exactly what I have been doing. Making things to sell and make a little "green."

Here are a few sneak peeks at what I plan on selling at a boutique this coming fall.
7 balls, 4 hats, and one onesie down... much more work to do.
