Our house...

I have an upcoming craft show in October and wanted to find some fun ways to display my dolls.  I had pinned this template a while back and remembered it and thought i would give it a try.  It was super easy to put together and my kids can't leave it alone!

"I am Robot!"

These guys are my new addition to my etsy store.  I wanted something that was more for the little guys.  My ideas have been mainly for custom orders or for girls as my two daughters where the ones that I had first started painted the peg dolls for.  I was thrilled with how they came together and love the chance to offer something else to boys as an option for imaginary play.  Imaginary play has always been something I love watching my kids do.  My husband is not a fan of batteries.  He is one that won't buy more batteries and despises the toys that go through them like crazy.  So I have tried to even this out with toys that push more imaginary play.  Something the encourages the kids to create their own idea of how to use the toy.  I have always been drawn to the wood play sets for this reason and have enjoyed expanding this into something that I enjoy doing as well.

Adventure Time!

Adventure Time is a favorite in our house!  This idea was brought to me from my sister who wanted them as a gift.  This is just the start of a set, but I made some for my son as he is usually forgotten when I make peg dolls as he feels to old for the superheros and robot sets and has no interest in the princesses ;)  So this was the perfect thing for him.  I was so excited to see how much he loved them when I gave them to him.  He's 11 going on 12 and is way to cool to "play" with them but as a "cool" observer I say they passed.


Engagement Snap shots

These are some couples I did from engagement pictures that were sent to me to create for their wedding gift.  It's fun to help create something original for the couple as a wedding gift in hopes that they enjoy for years to come.
