Toddler Ties

I forgot I hadn't posted about my toddler ties.  So here they are.

Scripture Case

Here is a scripture case I made. I love the way it turned out. I used this tutorial to create my scripture case.

Thomas the Train Cake

For my little dude's 2nd birthday I made him a Thomas the Train cake. My husband was a great help. He helped me with making Thomas' face out of fondant and also shaping the cake. This is the tutorial that I used. Instead of spreading frosting on, I decided to make stars on it instead. I liked this way better because I'm not so good with smooth frosting.
You can't tell from this side, but Thomas is awfully lopsided

My toddler LOVED his cake!I think I may have started a crazy tradition, of making elaborate cakes every year. I may be in trouble! :)

Catch Up

Oh yeah. I have a craft blog! I guess I will need to play catch up on all my recent crafts. Sorry to all you 3 or 4 blog readers who have been missing my crafts.

Mr. Potato Head

I made this for my little buddy for our upcoming trip. I like it but I will do things a little differently next time. I put the rough part of the velcro on each of the removable pieces, but I would change that next time. Now all the pieces stick together and I don't like that. Next time...

Keychains!

I had a lot of fun making these keychains. And I hope to make more!

Other things that are occupying my time are making some traveling activities for when my little buddy and I travel to his grandparents next month. I'm working on a felt Mr. Potato Head, some magnet board activities, and maybe a backpack. Stay tuned for more.

Car Cozy!

Now my little buddy can play with his cars on the go! We can take it to church or to restaurants and many other places.


Here is the car cozy I made recently. I made three of them: one for my son, one for his best buddy's second birthday, and one for someone else (shhh, its a secret!). The other two are very similar, a little different fabric. After I made them I had to go back and hand sew the numbers on because I guess I didn't do the double-sided fusible interfacing correctly. Maybe I'll figure it out for next time.
