taking a leaf out of C's book

I have started both my baby projects at the same time - strike will the baby is hot i say. actually i find it works a treat - as the paint is drying on the box i can start making the rattle.

The box is now green on the outside - i will paint a football on the front and find a funky font to write Mads' name as well. i also managed to pain the inside, and the boxes as well, its going swimmingly, though i think i may need to lighten the green a bit.

on the rattle i have cut the ears, head and the strip for attaching the ring. i also sewed a patch on which one of the eye will go on top of (that was very penickity). today i must procure foam for the insides. shoud be able to finish this this weekend. yay!

i am also thinking about the next project which will be a mini ballet theatre made out of a cigar box, with glansbilleder (dont know the name in English!??) and i will paint a back drop of some kind. this will be for la niece as she is only getting homemade pressies from me. lucky her hahahahah
