Crazy Cuteness

What do you do when life gets too crazy? Well if you are me you craft...OK, when I wake up in the morning I craft. But when life is getting to me I start a new project. Totally throw my self into something. This time around I let my son O dictate where my craftiness would take me.

"I want a farm mommy." O has said to me more than once.

Like most kids he says that about everything, and looses interest just as quickly. So I put that notion in the back of my mind and went on with my life. Then O seemed to be asking every day for a few months. He wants a barn and some animals.

"Big ones mommy."

Again, I placed this in the back of my mind...until I was taking his older brother, H, on a mommy/son date to the library. We picked out a few books for H and then headed over to the crafting section. My bliss in the library. I know they made this section with me in mind.

After a perusing a few shelves I saw a cute little book. Pulling it out I struck by how cute the plushies were one the cover. "why not" I thought to my self.

The moment O saw this book...it was like he was in heaven!

"Are you going to make my Farm now mommy?!" O exclamed.

He has only ever played with plastic or wooden farms and so I amused that was what he wanted. Boy was I wrong!! Every day I work on one of the wonderful animals in this book and everyday O's face lights up as he sees me working on his animals.

I am not done yet but I have made great headway. I love these animals as well. So much in fact that I went on Amazon and got the book for myself. I know I will make more than one of each.

Here is what I have made so far...
Though O wanted a red dress, brown hair and blue eyes for the girl. I offered to make it a boy but he declined. I think I will make him a boy to go along with his girl any way. (Will post my pic's when they are all done)

I only have 1 of the two pigs made so far.

My cow has Udders, per O's request. "Cows have squirters mommy."

This os not mine, but you get the jist.

I have all three of these cute buggers made. O had me do bright pink, like the pigs ears in stead of the pastel. O has his hand in the whole project.

This is what I am currently working on. Cute little cat. O chose a more pale yellow and a browner orange. It will be shared when it is done, But I am loving it!

That is it for now. Check back in a few weeks and I should have the whole farm up to share with you all!
