On Saturday my little guy, Zaya, turns one, wow. I can't believe I just typed that.. breathe.. ahhh.. i just can't imagine were all the time has gone.
I've been planning and working on this for sometime now (hence my absense from the blog..), making a city play mat. His favorite pastime is to push around a little car.. it can easily occupy him for 5 mins, while that might not seem like alot of time to most.. when trying to get things done.. it's a wealth of free time for mommy.
so here it is.. little guy and all..
The green fabric background is a soft minky fabric.. and I used quilting cotton for the appliques. The park got a special treatment of twinery twine..
I used cappuchino twine to mimic the ropes for the swings
and peapod twine for the stems of the flowers.
the mat is full of sweet details... the zayaville sign, all our favorite animals, daddy's work, numbered neighborhood.. and that sweet pink and purple house up in the corner? of course, it's big sister's house.
i used alot of heat n bond, my sillhouette cutter and backed the blanket with another layer of minky.. super soft and great to play on hardwood floors as well as carpet. We're already enjoying this toy.. and hope we get a ton of use out it!
so, do you want to win some beautiful twine from the twinery? I have one ultimate sampler pack to giveway.. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post and for an extra chance to win "like" my facebook page.
