Tights to leggings

They grow so fast, don't they?
These tights are not worn out, they ripped because got too short to quickly. Now, I don't want to buy new ones, not now when spring is already here and weather is getting warmer and warmer. If I buy them now they won't fit him in fall anyway.

So I did this with most of his tights:

HOW TO: Just cut them right above the heel.
                 Use the piece between heel and fingers for cuffs.
                 Sew them on, I used zig zag stitch so it ruffled up the knit a bit, but we like it that way.

They are perfect for this weather. It is still cold in the mornings when he goes to the nursery, but he can take them off and leave only the socks on in the afternoons when it is warm and sunny.

And this way it is possible he will still be wearing some of them in the fall.

Birthday presents Part II: The handmade

The cutest: Stick horse, one of many creations by our teta Biđa (Biljana Jovanović)

The biggest: DIY Bunk Crib

Made by the ultimate DIYer of all time, my Dad, P's Grandad.
This is where the boys will sleep from now on when we go to see my parents. The bottom crib is P's old crib passed on to his little brother now. The top one is a bigger, second-hand crib my mom bought and told my dad to figure out how to make a bunk-crib for the boys. So he did.

Details:

As you can see, it even has a storage drawer.

P was ecstatic to sleep in the top bed, made him fell like a real BIG boy.
My Mom and Dad ROCK!
