Making a Softie Together

I still have Disneyland posts to write but I want to share what we did yesterday. It’s special.
Me and Isabelle made a softie. TOGETHER!! How awesome is that?
She was flipping through a book and saw a drawing of a shark. She said, “mama! Shark!” then “make me a whale.” So I showed her this whale:
And she said, “yay!” Which was perfect because I’ve always wanted to make this whale.
It’s from this Japanese craft book that I got over two years ago, isbn-10: 452904114x (isbn-13: 978-4529041140).
Guess what she wants to make next? This:
She said, “I want make cowboy!!” Ah….she keeps me on my toes.
And HERE are the rest of the projects from the book. There are 59 projects. Scanning them all in was torture. We don’t have a dedicated desk for our scanner and printer. They’re on a shelf. The scanner is at knee level and I have to prop my computer up high and then go down low to scan stuff. Yikes, I think it was easier making the whale.
Pictures of the whale to come another day because hello did you just read what I wrote?? I scanned in freaking how many pages of that book!! I’m pooped.
How sweet, I love the second photo.
Wow, thanks for scanning in all those pages! I’d seen projects from that book before, it was great to see everything available, such a variety.
That looks like so much fun! I really should do something like that with Liesl; I bet she’d have a blast, too.
I like the little knitted heads on the spoons.
wow thanks for scanning all those pages! I’ll bet Isabelle loves her whale. ;]
whales?! whales are one of my favorite things in the entire world!
sigh
I almost bought that book last weekend. It’s so awesome! Those creepy animal clowns get me every time.
thanks for taking the time to scan all the pages!! everything in it is so cute!!
