A cute toy storage

My mom inspired me using these plastic jars for tiny toys, like polly pockets, great for my foam stamps, too. Some beautiful paper and mod podge makes them very cute.

Spring cleaning

has started. This is a view of my fabric cabinet.

A corner of our home

This is one wall of our playroom in the basement. Bookshelves were purchased at Target last year, toys and books are from everywhere, Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Amazon, and yard sale. The artwork is homemade which takes forever. DH made the canvas with wood strips and white duck fabric and prime it last April, I just finished painting a few weeks ago. They were put up this morning. There are still 3 walls to finish, hopefully I can have them done this summer.

Our backyard

Sophia and me drew this masterpiece of our backyard the other day. Sophia drew the red sun, black bird and green leaves. She's still not very good at holding pens, but she now knows what she's drawing and what she wants to draw.

Easy doll house

Sophia made an empty tissue box into a doll house for Kelly dolls.

Easter goodie bag

I just made this easter goodie bag for a 5 year old boy. I know that Easter bunny brings basket, but I thought a basket is not as useful as a canvas bag, which can be used as a library bag or beach bag in the coming summer.
Since I don't have lots of boy fabric, I used some neutral colors, dark colors at handle and bottom, cruise cotton print inside the bag, felt "1, 2,3" at the front. A simple and practical canvas bag I made in one night.
What's inside? I've never met this boy but I know him a lot because his mom talks about him all the time. Here are goodies in there, Dr Seuss book, Elmo balls, Spider man tops, Leapfrog DVDs, and a girl toy, littlest pet shop. It's cool to have a girl toy for a boy.

Made to match
