crafty little devil

here's a picture of those yoyo things i made last night (per my previous entry). i don't like the buttons so i might take them off and replace them with a different one.

i wasn't kidding when i said i would give handmade gifts from now on (sang pls let me know kung dili ka gusto ug handmade gift for ling ling hahaha!). my friend lori's daughter sydney's bday is coming up and she's the kid that has everything so i'm making this for her.



it's not quite done yet as laziness has hit me and i've decided i shouldn't kill myself doing crafts i.e. finish a project completely in one sitting...so i'm going to finish this tomorrow and find something lovely to wrap it with.

vaughn and i went to joann's today to scour the fabric remnants bins -- i have decided that my new hobby will be fabric hoarding. hahahah! at least it's cheap and it will keep me away from the shopping mall. plus now everytime i'm attracted to something in a store, i tell myself: hey i can make that! which prevents me from buying desired thing and then hopefully forget the "i can make that" proclamation later.

vaughn had so much fun looking at all the colors and of course basked in the attention of the sales people cooeing and oooh-ing over him "he's such a cutie! how old is he? so alert! look at those eyes! hello there cutie cutie!" fortunately for them my son rewards them with a great big gummy grin and the old ladies would chuckle in delight. sigh! he's only six months old and he already knows how to work it. man i'm gonna be in so much trouble...hahaha

anyway, here's some stuff we found:

i already have an idea what to do with these fabrics (other than make them into name things) and i figured out what i'm gonna do with vaughn's baby food containers that i saved, voila! instant button keeper. i am secretly pleased with myself these days heeheehee =)
