Brayden's party part 2.. the crafts

Did I mention I purchased 60 yards of fabric? I did not use up all 60 yards but I used up a good portion. 7 tablecloths, a runner for each of the 7 tablecloths, 25 tool belts, 25 goody bags, 3 aprons, a happy birthday banner, coordinating towels, and a twin quilt for the birthday boy made for lots of sewing.

Goody bags

Matchy - match towels.

My favorite - the toolbags for the pinata. These actually only took 2 hours to make all of them start to finish once I figured out the pattern. I had some leftover Ruby Supply trim that I was happy to use up for the belt ties.

check in station.

What is a recap of the party without a shot of the food table? I think I had more fun sewing than Brayden did as the guest of honor.

rewind part 1... Brayden Birthday

I am a terrible blogger. In an effort to catch up and share some fun memories I will try and do a post every day to make the Jacks family up to date in blog land.

Here are some long overdue highlights from Brayden's 3rd birthday....

Stuffing their tool belts with Pinata loot. The birthday boy refused to wear his hardhat at his party.

Brayden's sandbox handmade from his dad was a nice rainy day birthday activity. Note...this sandbox is one of the nicest pieces of furniture we own. Most sandboxes are not made out of mahogany. He had leftover wood from a job he wanted to use up. It truly is a beautiful piece of furniture.

The pinata! We took a scary bright green duck pinata from OTC clearance and tried to made it construction site worthy. It is supposed to look llike a saw blade not a Chinese throwing star ( i think that is what they are called anyway).

Jumping in the bounce house with both of his Grandmas in the rain! How fun was that?

Happy 3rd birthday! I will share the handmade photos next post.
