As it will be moved around a bit, I made a padded carry bag for our portable DVD player. It has 3 compartments - one for each screen and one for all the cables. It is padded using old towels and has a solid base using 3mm plywood.

Fleece Kids Hats
Tutorial: Pom Pom Hat from Nicole Mallalieu
As the kids are a bit too little to make pom poms just yet, they helped me cut the strips for tassels instead.

Magic Wands
Project: Wooden Magic Wands
Made using wooden stars cut by my Dad many, many years ago, nailed onto pieces of dowl. Then decorated by the kids with textas, sparkling pipecleaners and fairy dust (aka glitter). And there is some ribbon stapled on the back too.

Kids' Pants
Pattern: Burda 9828 (Tool kneepads)
Pattern: Knit'n'Stitch (Cat kneepads)
It's best to check the length of the pants before sewing on the kneepads.... or they might become anklepads!

Homemade Book: Tools
Project: A homemade book about tools
To say my son is obsessed with tools would be a HUGE understatement! To feed the obsession, I made him this book. Each page is A5 size, laminated and has a different tool or tool related thing, with the words "This is a.....".

Repaired: Horse
Repaired: Horse
Horse is my girl's most favouritest thing. After many, many cuddles, she needed some work in the neck region. After some extra stuffing was added, she is back to looking at the world with her head held high!

Doll's Sling
Pattern: Doll's Sling from Creative Play for your Toddler
These ones are for my kids. They each chose the printed fabric for their own sling. That was fun!

Nappy Wallet
Design: My Design
Inspired by: Nappy Wallet Tutorial from And So, I Sew
I made this nappy wallet for a friend but needed a bigger one for me because I need to carry 3 nappies... one for each of my babies and a backup. So I made one with boxed corners. It is only slightly bigger than Karen's design but has a little bit more room to carry a little bit more things... a common requirement of going out with twins!

Recycled: Cardboard Tools
Recycled: A cardboard box
Into: A hammer, saw and spanner (or 'ammer, 'aw and 'panner as my son would say!)
I cannot put into words, the amount of play these tools have had. They are ridiculously loved!

Recycled: Doll House Renovations
I'm not sure if this is a technically a "recycle" but thought I'd call it that anyway!
Recycled: A doll house
Into: A doll house with doors and window shutters!
The kids' Grandma gave them this doll house for Christmas. After watching the kids play with their cousin's dollhouse that has an opening and closing door (that was opened and closed many, many times!), we decided to do some renovations on this one.
We added shutters to three of the windows and changed one of the windows into a door. We replaced the back of the house with thicker plywood and created another door. And we cut a hole in the middle part of both sides, creating a walkway in between.
