Two More Birthday Boxes

Now that I've sent them both, I feel like I can post about them.. (The chances of her reading my blog are probably zero.)  I crocheted this "Playnket". Play mat + blanket. I wish they had stuff like this when my guys were little. 

Four outfits.

The only actual thing I sent from this picture was the Hot Wheels track builder. I was going to send the truck, but.... 1. I didn't have a big enough box/enough money to send a bigger box, and 2. I had already spent more on his gifts than I did his sister. So, I wanted everything to be "equal". I sent three hot wheels instead. Which make more sense. With the hot wheels track and track rug/blanket..

This was "Moms'" box. I re-used the Victoria's Secret bag... (My husband bought me a pair of sweats for Christmas.)  I got her a pair of pants, two shirts and earrings. Plus oddball stuff.... I was going to send more (but, money.... Lack of...)  I just tried to fit what I could in there. One of the things was a popsicle mold. And Kool-Aid mix to make them with..

Along with this; because I spent more on her big brother... Now I feel like he will feel left out...  Sigh... Lol. I got this at the Salvation Army! I just thought it was cute. It looks old.

This is something else I have been doing, it's a "drive" in a group I am in on Ravelry. They are trying to make 300 mini-stockings for an elementary school on Pine Ridge.  I "signed up" for 10. So far I have five done. This was the first one I finished. It's my night time TV watching project. It is too hot to do much else than small things.  

Birthday Box

Well, I did get some things for Dominica's birthday. I got this doll to begin with. Because I ended up deciding to just use a pattern I have had forever, Baby Syndee's Layette (from Annie's Attic). I used to love making doll clothes. And I haven't made any (that I can remember), since we lived in Michigan. :0  (We left Michigan in 2005.)  

I first crocheted the party dress.

Then I crocheted a pajama outfit. I wasn't going to do any more.

But then I thought, it HAS to have a blankie...   And then I did a pillow, too. (The pattern does not have the pillow, I just chained however many until I thought it was big enough.)

Shoebox bed. (I didn't send this.)

This was everything else. I got a cup/dish/bottle set. A dress, and a princess coloring book. She said they like to color.

Aaaand.... I got three more outfits.  I think that was more than enough.

Everything wrapped. 

Now I am working on getting Tokala's package together. I finished his crochet thing.  I will post that when it's done. I still wanted to buy a couple more things (clothes).  I wanted to sponsor a child or family on the Okini One Spirit site. But, we are still so broke..  So, I decided to "sponsor" them. At least for their birthdays.  I haven't said anything to her. But, I did sponsor her before. She won't answer any of my questions except what size the kids wear. So, I got them some clothes. :)
