So, awesome first cousin to my husband, and her husband, had their first baby this spring. Gosh, he is adorable- I just love him so! I always want to call him my nephew, but, I guess he's really some sort of cousin removed numbers or something. Anyway, he's really, really cute- and baby things are fun to make- so, I delved deep down into my black, selfish crafter heart (I almost always reserve my time and efforts for my own kids) and made him something(s).
We were shopping for his Christmas present and came across this cute little wooden bus and truck- but, I'm pretty anti- made-in-china painted toys for babies. Even from relatively good companies- just doesn't sit well with me. So, we stuck with something that he's less inclined to put in his mouth, and I "whipped" these puppies up myself.
I seriously love them! You are making me want to pull out a saw and start making my own! My grandpa and great grandpa were really good at wood working. I think that I may have to check out his old workshop (it has been closed up since he passed away) and see what tools I can claim:)
