handmade birthday!!!

penelope will be 1 tomorrow. i will probably post again tomorrow, but i wanted to give you a little sneak peek of her gifts. bryan and i made these toys a onth or so ago, but i've been waiting to post them until it was closer to the big b-day!

for her cars bryan and i drew out the design of each car on the piece of wood, bryan cut them out on the bandsaw and i sanded them down, i painted them with acrylic paint, bryan put a coat of polyurithane on them and then he assembled them.

here's the line-up:

suv...or british taxi.

truck

compact car

vw bus

we also made a bag of blocks! i remember my grandpa made me and my siblings blocks and we used them almost everyday. i made her a little drawstring bag to keep them in. i think we'll be making her a toybox for christmas. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW PENELOPE!!!
