Jarom's friend, Adam, is having a birthday this week. He loves books and I found this great book at
Albertsons, of all places. I actually didn't buy it the first time I saw it, but then I couldn't believe how perfect it would be, so I went back and bought it.
It is a cute story about Dexter
Bexley and his
adventures with the Big Blue
Beastie. Adam has quite a fun little imagination and I thought it would be fun to make him a Big Blue
Beastie that he could have adventures with as well. So, last Friday evening
Jarom, Dylan, and I took out our drawing paper and designed a Big Blue
Beastie. Then we all took a trip to the fabric store to get material for the
beastie. It was really a lot of fun to go to the fabric store with the boys-- who knew they would like it so much? We got home and
Jarom went to bed. Summer and Dylan helped with the final design plans and we got the Big Blue
Beastie cut out. I sewed it the next morning. The boys helped to fill the bottom with beans for support (and food storage) and tear up the stuffing to fill the rest of the
beastie. The result:
He has a zipper mouth with a pocket inside. We went on Monday and got some treasures that go along with the story so Adam can pretend he is Dexter
Bexley with his Big Blue
Beastie. We hope that Adam has as much fun playing with it as we did making it.

Oh my goodness! That is SO adorable! What a fantastic idea! Can I pay you to make one for Brennan's birthday? Please please please??? Everything you make always turns out looking so professional!
That is fabulous! What a clever gift...I'd say I'll have to borrow it from you, but I'm not that talented with the sewing machine. Great job!
