I wanted to have a Pigeon themed craft, and there's nothing Evie likes better than a chance to use glue sticks. I saw a link on Pinterest to a Pigeon made with a paper plate and decided to make some changes of my own. ... Read More
Every time we go to Target Evie always wants to get some party hats, so I knew we had to have some for her Pigeon party. ... Read More
I knew right away that I wanted to make Evie a crown and a shirt for her birthday. I really liked the tutorial I used to make the lucky underpants, and she also had one for making a felt crown. ... Read More
Evie decided she wanted a Pigeon party awhile back. I kept asking her to make sure she hadn't changed her mind before I started making anything. We even went into Party City the other day to get a few things and she didn't waver from her Pigeon party request. We are big fans of Pigeon, and I was excited to start making stuff. I went a little overboard! ... Read More
Evie loves the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. I have been a huge Mo Willems fan for a long time, I loved The Off-Beats on KaBlam! In my book illustration class in college I did an illustrator presentation on him, so I was really excited that Evie likes his books so much. ... Read More
Evie decided she wanted to have a My Little Pony party and I was kind of relieved. Last year I had a lot of fun putting together her Mo Willem's Pigeon party, but I put a lot of pressure on myself. So her picking a theme that I could buy a lot of the supplies at the party store definitely simplified things for me! I knew I wanted to at least make her a crown though and I wanted to make her a skirt too. For my birthday Josh got me a Silhouette Cameo and it is amazing. Once I've used it a bit more I will write an entire post about it. I figured I could make ... Read More
For Evie's first birthday party I made a ton of decorations and then was so busy setting up that I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. I was not going to let that happen this time around, so I got all the decorations up the night before Mira's party so I could get pictures of them all! For the decorations I used a lot of Benzie Design wool felt and a lot of bakers twine from the Twinery. The pinwheels came from Land of Nod, I didn't even realize they sold party supplies until I saw a post on their blog about it. So last weekend we went to Land of Nod ... Read More
We are part of a group that does toddler craft exchanges (see what I have made for past exchanges here and here). This month has been so crazy and the exchange totally snuck up on me so I had to pick something easy. What you need: Paper plate - cut in half Hole punch Pipe cleaners Feathers Markers, crayons, or paint Eyeballs Glue Construction paper I based this bird off the Pigeon craft we did for Evie's party, but added a little extra to the project like feathers and legs! Use your markers, crayons, paint, or whatever else you'd like to decorate ... Read More
