Helmets of buckets, foil, aluminum pie tins, plastic baby food containers, plumbing tubing and other shiny stuff. Oh, and lots of hot glue (the kids didn’t do that part, of course).
And the robot cake. Yum.
The Party
Dear Internet,
I am here, just busy and having a hard time finding enough time to sit and download pictures to make an entry etc. etc. etc.
The robot party was a great success. We made robot helmets with ice cream buckets covered with foil and other bits of magical metalic stuff and then the boys ran around hitting each other with rolled up paper light sabers. Every four-year-old’s dream come true. Oh, and the robot cake was very cute, if I might say so myself.
I have pictures of robot madness that need to be downloaded etc. etc.
And–quilt blocks! I made some more of mine. Love ’em. Love everything I’ve received in the mail. Taken lots of pictures. Need to download and post.
I will… tomorrow?
Birthday Bot
Last night I put my 3-year-old-Jonah to bed and in the most dramatic fashion said good night to him forever. No more 3-year-old-Jonah, because today he turned 4!
He’s into robots and legos and transformers and all things buildable, so we’re having a robot party on Saturday. Last night I just needed to make him something and came up with this guy to fit with the whole robot theme.
I’m glad he turned out. Not bad for an hour or so of work on the spur of the moment. Jonah was sure excited about him this morning and Logan is very jealous.
He didn’t have a long list of friends to invite, so with his coaching I drew pictures for his invitations.
I’m still not 100% sure exactly what we will be doing at this robot party besides eating cake and ice cream. I still have tomorrow to figure it out!
Found a New Quilt Artist
I was browsing through Whip-Up. Kim has started posting about a different quilt artist each week. This week it was Lisa Call and I’m truly inspired.
She works in series, really exploring an idea thoroughly. Here are some from the Structures series:
Many are on a pretty small scale, which turned on a light bulb for me. I am always full of ideas, but they never come to fuition because of the daunting work and expense of making a bedsize quilt. There’s nothing wrong with making little things to hang on walls. Duh…
