Bulldozer, that is.
This fabulous construction fabric arrived as an unexpected surprise for Argy and Bargy last week from the very kind CurlyPops. Now there's a girl who surely knows the way to a small boy's heart. Thank you very much, Cam!
After a brainstorm about what we should sew (Argy first very helpfully volunteered "a road"), the boys agreed to something nice for their beds. With only fleeting time available during afternoon naps today, I started with a junior pillowcase.
I do feel however, as so often happens here, Argy might have misinterpreted the purpose of the new linen? (Really, I couldn't get my boys to do stranger things if I paid them.)
Ah, you are too funny! Big smiles!
ReplyDeleteVery, very funny. Pretty soon those boys are going to be on the stand-up circuit. Love the fabric and LOVING the pillowcases. I mean, I'm not into diggers that much, but as a mother of a man-child, I certainly see that this is tres tres exciting - and stylish. A great achievement.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I think your boys might need to teach me a few things about construction vehicles- I call them all 'tractor', and now so does the Bug.
ReplyDeleteI walked past a building site recently while the workers were having a smoko, and asked "Excuse me, what's the name of that vehicle?". There was a pause, and then they all chorused "An excavator.". The reception when walking past building sites has really changed for me recently :) I guess now I've got a babe, I'm not a babe myself!
Hey that looks fab...and Argy is a crack up!
ReplyDeleteno 'underground conduit for transporting human waste' could make that!
ReplyDeletegreat photo.
What a great idea so the boys can see the fabric everyday.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! Cute pillowcase too.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am envious of all the darling projects and pieces of artwork that other bloggers' children put out... good to know I am not the only one!
ReplyDeleteAh..the pillowcase headgear...very popular around here, too. :p
ReplyDeleteNow, if that isn't going to make them dream even more about dozers and excavators and cranes and cement mixers, etc, I don't know what is!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I'm a big fan of using great fabric like this for pillow cases.
I love it !!
ReplyDeleteBoth the fabric and your treatment thereof - very very cool !
I relaly need to learn how to use my old gifted sewing machine .. *sigh* ..
