I made up a few travel pillows for my couisin's kids. This is something I did several years ago for my own children for a plane ride. The handle makes it so much easier to carry when you have multiple bags, little hands to hold, etc.
Along with the travel pillows, I made this super cute guy. My cousin sent me a picture of a little stuffed dog she saw and wanted for one of her daughters. I set about creating my version and I can not stop looking at it! We had it sitting on a shelf in our house for several days. Everyone just could not get enough of it. Off these go to Alaska. I think this is going to be a great package to open.
My husband will say I tricked him. Not so. We "finished" our addition and remodel almost a year ago. Not unlike many other stories I have heard, we finished and then have a very long list of minor and not so minor tasks to complete. One of those details was sanding and sealing the fir floors in the existing old bedrooms. As it turns out, I had the brilliant idea of moving our bedroom to the finished music room (which is so amazingly cozy and quiet thanks to wool carpet and soundproofing in the walls). In doing so, we could finish floors in the old bedroom, move my sewing room from next door and finish the floors in the old sewing room. Tricked him into giving me a huge sewing/fabric room and taking away his music room? Nonsense.
