Blast from the Past: Prepare to Giggle- My Crafty Childhood

January 4, 2011



Recently my mom brought up some of my old toys for sophia! 
I had a bunch of beanie babies that were perfect for her to play with!
when i was little i would crochet up little accessories for them! haha
it makes me laugh looking at all of them..
i would just make it up as i went. i loved creating something out of nothing.
We had plenty of yarn in the house (CARON yarns was a family company) 
We had cabinets in the basement full of yarn.
I loved a good project ever since i was little! ;) 

Sophie was thrilled with them!
 she kept putting the different purses and scarves and dresses on them. 
I might have to try and remember how i did it and make up some more for her. :)

Here you have your average working teddy. 
tie and briefcase (withhhh an outer pocket. haha.)
I opened it and found these… at the top i put where my dad used to work.

my favorite is the purple dress with the matching headpiece..seriously cracks me up.
ps. the dresses have a low v cut back. pretty cute. haha.


I made a cow angel…..haha. o yes….with wings and a halo.

hope that was amusing.
it made me smile reminiscing!
I was a DIY girl from the start. ;)

    Oh my GOODNESS!!! This is TOOOO cute! I think it’s adorable!! I hope my Alie is this creative. I didn’t do ANYTHING like this when I was younger! If you look at my A Year of Alie post I just did, I caught an ADORABLE pic of Alie helping my make picture frames. I hope she’s a crafty DIYer too! :)

    These are seriously adorable! I can’t believe you did them when you were younger! I wouldn’t be able to do something that good now at 33! Thanks for sharing these, brought a smile to my day :)
    That gives me an idea for a post for my blog to show off the bracelet my 4 year old son made for me. It’s quite sophisticated for 4!

    Precious! I wish I had been that crafty as a child – maybe I’d be more than just a teacher today!

    That is seriously TOO CUTE! I can’t even crotchet as an adult and you were a total pro back then! Haha, I love it :)
