sticks

..ever had the urge to whittle? Me either.

Yet, somehow here I am with a fork, a spoon, and a knife.

Huh, ...just how does that happen..oh, yeah..now I remember.

It starts out with one of these little ones and then goes something like;

"Mama remember when you were going to

..(fill in the blank with any item from that endless to-do list)..can we do that now?"

Yes folks, this is how we get things done around here, all the important things that would otherwise be missed are never forgotten by the most persistent little ones in the bunch.

wood ipod

Who knew simple stickers could be so much fun?

I think these were originally designed to put on your ipod,

but they do make fabulous fake ipods for the little ones

that aren't yet of age for "real one" but still like to pretend.

Lucky for us, we have a handy dandy woodworkin' daddy inhouse

who was quick to find just the perfect width of wood,

and cut and sanded these little cuties right up.

Just add a little cotton twine, and two pompoms and you're all set!

For Lilly

Some things are well worth the wait.
Tylor completed Lilly's airplane that has been his ongoing project.. since her birthday (in October).Turns out, things take longer than planned when you have 4 kids, huh, who knew?
As with all things Tylor made... I just love it.
Actually, I've begun what I'll call a "subtle campaign " {wives don't nag they encourage ;) } for him to create some of our designs as wood toys for my Etsy shop. As with all my great ideas, we'll all just wait and see what comes of it!
::fingers crossed::

Oh, little wood airplane

you will be treasured for many years to come,

& not just by Lilly :)
