now i know my abc's

I've had yet another project idea swirling around in my head for the last few weeks and finally had the time to do it. This one didn't take as much time as the bumper but it was figuring out when to make it as Reagan is just motoring all around my house now:) She is almost as busy as Marshall...perfect. I was hoping for a cuddler...not the case, oh well maybe my next child:)
Anywho...on to the project. So I found this alphabet fabric a few months ago with my dear friend Sandy at this fabulous shop in McMinville. Seriously I walked into this fabric store and didn't know which way to go there was so much to look at. I knew I would use this in Marshall's room but just wasn't sure where. I've been a little in love with burlap lately and I wanted to back each of the letters with burlap and fabric that matches the blanket I made him for his bed. I LOVE how it turned out and Marshall is loving talking about all the letters:) So fun.
I also put up a couple pics of our wonderful trip to Silver Creek Falls today! It was beautiful out there and we had quite the hike. It was definitely a bit of work with two kiddos but it was so fun. Both my kids were in bed at 6:30 tonight...ahhhhh! Have a great week!
Post cutting....

All laid out. I used Jute webbing to hang the letters together.
Marshall wanted to be in the picture but I wouldn't let him on the bed:)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic of Reagan and daddy!
Thanks sweet hiker girls who took this picture. Unfortunately my kids do not like to smile for strangers:)

Chris these are so cute! You're so talented, I love it! If I ever need to relearn my alphabet for some reason, I'm giving you a call.

Way to go Chris! They really turned out cute. Marshall will be saying his ABC's soon if not already.

I absolutely love the alphabet squares hanging up! That is a crazy cute idea! I'm with you...that pic of Matt and Reagan is totally awesome and needs to be framed on the wall! Lets talk soon! My household is finally showing signs of being on the mend!

did you make your son's bedding? i'm planning on doing something similar with the circles, but on a much bigger scale - so fun!
