Homemade Birthday Gift

Avery was attending Allie's 8th birthday party today and we decided to make a homemade friendship bracelet making kit.  I found the idea here http://go.tipjunkie.com/hm/1370/tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/2011/08/summer-social-guest-project-make_16.html

I purchased a small tote and used the printable found at the link above to make the label.

I filled the tote with embroidery floss and plastic lace (or when i was a kid we used to call it gimp).  I also covered two pieces of wood with paper and added paperclips to hold the bracelets while being made.  I also printed off some instructions on making friendship bracelets.

Then to finish off the project I sewed up this bag reall quick this afternoon. 

I hear the birthday girl loved her gift.  Maybe next time Avery will more with the project!


My new project is knitting purple hats for the Walkerton Birthing Centre for the month of Novemeber.  November is going to be the month to recognize the period of purple crying in infants.  Follow this link for more information regarding the period of purple crying.  http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purplecrying.info%2Fsections%2Findex.php%3Fsct%3D1%26loc%3Dmb1r3p6&h=iAQDmcAPLAQBl9wLD0eO7lLBa55iRr38nhlv4bOcVQ3-wKw

So here is the one hat I have completed so far.

Until next time!
