crafting two

Little Miss Naia (or Super Toddler 2000 as we call her these days) is going to be turning 2 this weekend. I have been slowly getting my craft on to prepare for her big day. She only really has 2 little friends, so our celebration will be small and sweet.

Zach came up with a theme of sorts for her big day. He explained to me one day that since her favorite dolls are her fox and her hedgehog and her owl that we should do a foxie-hedgie-owlie-woodland party. Ok, twist my arm.


So here's a quick peak at some of the goodies I am working on for the kiddos. First these masks. I kept drooling over similar ones on etsy, but at around $15 each I just couldn't do it. I have tons of felt laying around, and I found free patterns via pinterest and winged it a bit too.




Next I made these burlap bucket/bags from the wonderful pattern sold by Maya Made. I got the burlap for free from our local coffee shop.

Then I made some simple wool felt crowns for each child.


And finally I found these sweet little rolling toys on etsy.

None of it was all that hard to make, and I gave myself plenty of time to do it little by little over several weeks (and time to mess up and start over a few times too).

We're hoping for good weather so the kids can all meet and play at a park until they collapse into a giant toddler implosion.

Totally awesome stash for the kids- love those masks !
Happy birthday Miss Naia!! I wish we could celebrate with you at the awesomely craftastic shindig your Mama has whipped up! Have fun sweet girl and we hope to see you again soon!
All adorable!
oh my those are too cute! You guys are putting me to shame as my little one's two year old party is coming up and I'm speechless at how crafty and amazing you've made Naia's. Maybe Brie can play with sticks....

Oh they will be playing with sticks alright. That's all I have planned. But they'll go home with some fun stuff.
You've got the right idea there-spread it out over a few weeks and then no one day is totally overwhelming. You did great. Love the masks and the crowns are just delightful. The small parties are the best i think after a lifetime of both kinds.

These are so adorable. I might just try this for my girls since it is fall and all.
So wonderful! I love the mask!
