Upcycled Wool Swap

Here are my two entries for my natural parenting swap.
 Brooches and hairclip sets...
 Adult/adolescent hats
 
I'm hostess this time. These are always so fun.  Now I've got to go clean my house!

The little table

The new little table needed some linens.  This is the fabric that R picked out of my stash.  He even helped me cut it.  It's a nice very-day table cloth.

But of course we also needed festive V-day linens.  So I made this little table cloth and these double sided napkins.  All from my stash.

Valentine's Day

We've started decorating...


Here's the bird tree from the birthday party changed up a bit. 

These ornaments were freebies from a friend. 

The silly "vintage" decor below is from Arts 'n' Scraps.  I think you'll remember it from last year's V-day of kitsch.  R helped me position it above the little table.  S got this for her birthday from her Grandpa and it's been a huge hit with both kids.  I'm going to start working on a tablecloth and some napkins for it once I get my wool swap completed...

A little more birthday...

I just wanted to show off the birdhouses the kids painted.  This one belongs to R.  It's blue... of course.


This is the cool centerpiece that Nonna made for the bird themed party.  She brought the little birds with her from Kansas City.  The branch is borrowed from a neighbors shrub.  So sweet.  I've got a repurpose in mind for it, so stay tuned.

Birthday Blast!

We got a few pictures before my camera died.  I don't know how I would have done it all if it wasn't for Nonna's help.  She really saved the day!!!
