Boys’ Week {Project Run and Play}

Well, I made it through Boys’ Week over at Project Run and Play without a boy and I actually LOVE what I created.  I wanted to make something for Bean even though it would be boy-ish.  I thought of a cute way to girl it up once the contest was over and for something that was just a thought it my mind to actually turn out exactly as I was hoping is kind of exciting.  Especially since this was a functional-type of experiment and not something asthetic. 

After seeing You and Mie’s GORGEOUS winter romper entered for the Junebug Dress Remix, I fell in love with the idea of making a shorts romper.  A shromper.  With a few details I thought I could take a boy’s shromper and fit it for a girl.  This is what I came up with.

A fully lined shromper.  I fell in love with how the top pocket I made adds a hint of frogginess to the front.  So I call it the Froggy Shromper, hehe.

Stay tuned for some pics of Bean in the Froggy Shromper with both boy AND girl styling.  It turned out so cute!  I swear it’s worth the wait to see how the girl pics turned out πŸ™‚

    I love how the parts of this work together to form a froggy, without there being any actual appliqued pictures involved. Very creative and adorable! It will be fun to see how you make it girly in the end.

We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge last weeke We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge last weekend!  We avoided crowds, wore masks everywhere, and got take out from town instead of eating buffet (😬😬) We were a little nervous, but the hotel itself was doing a great job managing things in a safe manner and we were more impressed than we expected, even though we spent the majority of the time alone together in our room πŸ˜†πŸ˜† 
It’s amazing what a change of scenery can do for your spirit and the girls LOVED being able to spend the time away from school and work distractions πŸ’•πŸ’•

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
