Join forces with your child, and make your own version. It's a great way to turn your kiddo's masterpiece into a reusable keepsake, as well as encourage them to journal about their vacation plans, thoughts & dreams.

What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd what an adorable kiddo!
Great idea, now to translate into knitery... HMMMM I wonder :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I was just talking about putting together a journal for my daughter. She's going on a special trip with her grandparents this summer, and I wanted a fun way for her to be able to record her memories. So ... perfect timing on this project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project. I'll have to make one with my nephew who is VERY crafty and a VERY talented artist at the tender age of 9-1/2. Tristan is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for a great summer DIY project.
ReplyDeletei saw your project in the magazine and thought it was a great idea...except my embroidering is as good as my crocheting! this would make a great "sampler" for the wall too (we're renovating and i need some art ideas...) thanks for being an inspiration for/with your children. it gives me hope that someday i'll be able to do this with my son too (he's into army/pirate stuff now, little interest in arty stuff yet!)
ReplyDeleteps...thanks so much for the yarn! it is so yummy and i can't wait to use it!
Love,love,love this project!!What a great idea! Little man and I will definitely making this project. I think we will be making one for his grandma too. Tristan did a great job on his drawing, too cute!!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea!
ReplyDelete(and i love your boy's name btw, one of our boys is named Tristan also!!!!)
i keep a folder of our boy's art, but this is an adorable craft!
it would make a CUTE cross stitch design, or in knitting, duplicate stitch or intarsia design!!
i think i have a new project to start!
sheesh you're awe-fan-tabu-lici-oso!
;0)

ReplyDeleteThat kid is gorgeously handsome!
ReplyDeleteI love the project, too. :)
