In Brazil the milk cartons are the same size as the chicken/beef broth cartons here in the US, and that is what I used to build a little house for my nephew, that at the time was 2 years old - he is 6 now.
About 200 boxes later, lots (I mean lots!) of hot glue, some oil based paint (each side of the house was painted in a different color) and a hours of work, the little house was made.
Sometimes I can't help but wonder what kind of things I will make for my kid...
Great news!
After this post was already written I received a message that I won the giveaway that Amy at The Maisy Report put together. I couldn't be happier, thank you so much Amy for your kindness!!!

I do LOVE the tissue holder. Such a pleasant surprise. :-) Thanks for asking about my dad. He is getting better. :-)

ReplyDeleteI'll post this comment in my blog and yours too, but I have an Ikeep bookmarks account. It's a free account where you can upload your bookmarks so that you can access them from any computer. I am in the process of transferring my pattern links there so that I can clean up and organize my bookmark menu. When I finish I'll send you the link so that you can use whatever you find in there.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what kind of sewing machine do you have?
ReplyDeleteIt looked like you used a Serger. That's why I asked. Great sewing. My aunt is a true seamstress and I love it when she uses her Serger because it makes all of the clothes look so professionally done. I love the tissue holder.
