Moves Are For Ignoring....

Well, there are probably a thousand things I should be doing right now to prepare for our upcoming move--cleaning out the pantry or the fridge or organizing things in general.....but alas, I have been doing none of those things.  I'd rather just pretend that this whole thing isn't going to happen next week so this is what I've been working on instead....

David's birthday is coming up--as I'm sure he's told you if you've been around him for more than five minutes anytime in the past three months.  I've been trying to do something handmade for birthdays and holidays and for this particular birthday David's been asking for a giant cardboard train--apparently I set the bar a little high last year :)  

He's been really into super heroes as of late, and Spiderman in particular so I made him a mask based on this tutorial (I used her pattern but changed it up a bit and just hand embroidered the whole thing because I couldn't muster up the energy to drag my sewing machine out).  He's been putting his hooded lion towel on over his face and wrapping a sheet around his neck like a cape for his current Spiderman costume and while I applaud his creativity it isn't very practical to fight super villains with your eyes covered so I think this will be a step up from that!  I also got him a can of silly string for some web-slinging fun and I made him a little Spiderman peg doll to add to his collection.  Hopefully this will lesson the blow of finding out there is no giant train surprise......we'll see..........
