Ninjago Valentine Box!

February 7, 2013


Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year. As a kid the highlight of the school year was decorating the paper bag I was given to collect my school valentines. Now that I have children, I have to stop myself from decorating for them! I have to say, they are pretty creative though. This year Cameron wanted a Ninjago decorated box. We searched Pinterest and found our inspiration. We bought more duct tape (can't have enough of that right?) and to work we went. I'm so proud of what this little guy made! The only help I gave was the cutting of the top to stuff an oatmeal container in for the head, the cutting of of the mail slot, and the drawing of the eyes. Cam did the rest himself- not bad for a 6 year old!

Welcome

Welcome to the Pink Pirate Studio Blog! Pink Pirate Studio is an idea I've had in my head since I made this Pink Pirate Costume for my daughter 3 years ago. Believe it or not, it was my first attempt at real sewing. When my daughter was born in 2000, I had big dreams of handmade burp cloths, quilts, and of course Halloween costumes. Well, the years went by, and the sewing machine that I HAD TO HAVE sat and collected dust, until Halloween 2008.  While searching online for a cute costume for my first grader, I came across the most beautiful boutique Pirate Girl costume, with a price tag of $150.00! Right there I thought I could make it for much less, I mean how hard could it be right?  After 10+ trips to Joann's, and well over $150.00 later, I had the costume. It isn’t the highest quality, but I did it. I learned something about myself through that process. I learned that if I really want to do something, I can figure out a way to do it. It may not be the most orthodox or organized way to do things, but still, I can do it, and I did it! I hope to display through the course of this blog how I express myself creatively! Welcome to my creative journey!
