Josh & Teo is now available at Kid Culture!

When I am not taking care of the kids, hubby, house, etc, I blog and I run an ETSY store.   Earlier in March, I was approached by a shop in Toronto called Kid Culture to include some of my items in their store (I mentioned it in this post).  Since then, I've been sewing toy leashes for the store and dropped them off recently.  This is the batch that is now at Kid Culture.

Kid Culture is located in the Junction:  2986 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6P 1Z4

Here we are enjoying a really nice sunny day!

 

Deciding on Fabrics and Taking a Break

Today I am taking a break.  The kids are with their grandparents, I've finished sewing almost all my ETSY orders, and I am now building my list of other things to do.   Yes, doing more.  

Earlier this year, I posted a note about some New Year's resolutions.  One of them was to refinish a chair that has been sitting in my basement for a long long time.  So I am now stuck between two fabrics with the same pattern, just different colours.

Can't decide which one I like more...  black background with white design or white background with black design.   Help!!!  Which do you think would look better?

I am now going to eat some popcorn (made from my "retro" popcorn machine) and watch a little bit of tv.

I miss the kids!

 

Toddler Backpack: Garbage Truck for Alex's Son

This toddler backpack was made for Alex's son "J".  He liked the Garbage Truck bag (what little kid wouldn't, right?).   Alex wanted a more clean look for her son's bag, hence, no pockets, no buttons, or extra colours.  Simple look and clean lines.  Here are some pictures... side views, top, quilted bottom, real backpack connectors to allow for easy adjusting, and hippo lining of course!

Baby Bunny likes to model so he agreed to put on the backpack just to check for the fit. 

If you were reading last month, you would have seen that I made a Dump Truck for Shannon's son.   Recently, she linked up a really cute video on my Facebook Page (click on photos and then scroll to the bottom for photos and videos).  Her adorable son was running around wearing his little backpack.  Take a peek - he's a cutie!

Next up, I need to finish this backpack... (and then a new one for Joshie and then one for Baby Bunny).

Note:  I create and sell toddler backpacks through my Josh & Teo ETSY Shop.  However, if you know how to sew and would like to tackle this project, visit Made by Rae's website to purchase a PDF copy of the pattern.  

 Happy Sewing!
