For Elliot’s second birthday, I made him his very own birthday crown. I missed Gus’s first birthday (he had to wear Elliot’s) but I got around to it this year! I did Elliot’s out of felt and it was a huge pain, so I was really putting it off. But this time I used craft […]

My embroidery hoop designs were the main part of the wall decor in my boys’ rooms, and this is what I’ve come up with for the other areas. Some vinyl African safari animals to match the elephants in Gus’s room. And some pictures to help our family remember who we are and what we believe. […]
