Hello! & A quick fun kid's present/game!

Hello!

I hope you all are havin' a rockin' summer thus far!
We sure are!
We've done a lot of crafting, cleaning, family visiting, and playing to name a few things we've been up to! What about you?!?!

Well, before I go into the craft here is our local star of the show....

He's doing Awesome! Our little man is thriving and loving life and we are loving life with him!!

Now, We've decided this year we would try to make all gifts home-made with Love!

So recently one of my girl's little friend's turned 7 and boy is he a sports fan!
So we gathered up a little felt and remnants from my fabric stash and made a
BEAN BAG TIC-TAC-TOE!
It was Super fun for the girls and I to make together and took literally no time at all, estimated time 2 hours from start to finish!

1. First we began by cutting a square out of brown felt and then measuring white felt strips across our square. Sorry didn't take measurements just eye-balled it.
2. Then we cut and measured 10 cloth 5x5 squares for bean-bags. Five with football pattern and five with plaid fabric. I then sew 3 1/2 sides of the cloth and let the girls fill the squares up with beans. I sewed up the remaining portion and Taada we had bean-bags!
(My helpers filling bean-bags!)

3. Then wrap up super cute as a gift or just enjoy and play!!!

Love to hear what you all have been up-to!!
Blessings,
Jaime
