Butterfly Mobile

My friend Yuki made me this cute butterfly mobile for my birthday.  My daughter wanted to claim it as her own and so instead of us fighting over it, I hung it in the kitchen so we can both share it.  

She hand cut out each butterfly and created this entire thing.  I cannot reconstruct it myself but it certainly makes a great gift and a great display.  I love it and would never have thought to give an adult a mobile as a gift but after getting it, I can't tell you how much I love it and how nice it looks in my kitchen!

Stroller Blanket Holder

My friend Yuki made these for us.  I think it's one of the most ingenious ideas EVER.  

You attach one strap to each side of your stroller.  Then use them to hold your blanket onto your child's lap so it doesn't fall off!  

Items Needed:

Hanger Clips (found on department store hangers)

Ribbon

Felt Flowers

Directions:

1.  Pop off the clips from the department store hanger.

2.  Cover clips with felt and flowers

3.  Attach ribbon to clips.

4.  Loop Ribbon to make a hoop on the end (to attach to stroller).

These are one of those DUH crafts.  Duh! Why didn't I ever think of that!  It works great and now I don't have to worry about my daughters blanket falling off her lap as we go on our walks.
