So Ugly It's Cute?!?

So we are on snow day 4.5! I can't believe we have been out of school so dang long! I am ready to go back and I think my kids are ready for their normal routine! They are about to drive each other and ME nuts! I have to admit I am getting stir crazy as well, so I figured it was time to create something! I have seen on a few other blogs that people have their kids draw a picture and then they make a stuffed animal based on the picture. So I thought, why not!! I got Braxton a pen and paper and told him to have at it. I did let him know that is couldn't be super elaborate because I am not that good of seamstress! He drew a picture and then the sewing began.



I found some different fabrics and let the kids pick out what they wanted. Of course I couldn't just make a new softie for Braxton so the girls each got one, slightly altered from the picture, but still the same theme! Each only took around 30 minutes or so once they were cut out! Braxton's does look pretty similar to the picture. It is ugly, but still fun. They all seem to like them and are currently napping with them!


One of those fun projects that the kids can be a part of! The best part is they seem to think they are cool! That is the most important part! Hopefully we can get back into our regular routine tomorrow! We all need it!!
