My son is the designer of the font Schoolbell.

Do you see the type above font?  The one in the title.  The font is named Schoolbell and was designed by my son, Jackson.  Pretty cool uh? He was pretty excited to have Daddy help him create his very first font for Google.  The best part is the web font, along with a few others,  are free for you to use!  Down load it here.

Mr. Font Diner went to school for career day and taught Jackson's 2nd grade class how fonts are made and where his fonts are found.  Then they all got to see Jackson's font in Google.  They think Jackson is famous.  I think he is pretty famous too!  Enjoy the font!

New to Me.

Look what arrived from Australia!  Yes, my new set of Capri canisters.   Love the colors.  Love the script.

Book Sling

Yippee, another project finished!  This time it was a matter of finding the correct hardware.  It was difficult to find a double curtain rod that did to stick out from the wall several inches.  Finally, found it here.  Jenna will love her new book sling.  Hailey will also have a book sling in her room, but we need to do some fabric shopping first!  Jackson, no interest......boys.

Ticker Tape Quilt

Sometimes I forget to post things I make.  Actually, a lot of times.

This was a fun quick quilt to make.  Since I used fusible batting and quilted as I went, there was a lot of instant gratification during this quilt.  It now hangs out on Jenna's bed.

Time Flies....

Last night Jenna wore her monkey pjs.  These were originally made for Hailey in 2007, when she was three. Our current three-year-old is now the proud owner. 

And the train pjs that Jackson is wearing.....yup, he still wears them! They are a tad bit small, but he does not mind!

Paper Fun!

Jackson LOVES cut and assemble paper figures.  He loves it so much that everyday he carries a new project to school to show his class.  Last week it was a pin hole camera.  The comedy of listening to Dad answer questions was delightful.  Questions such as, "Where do I see the photo at?"  "How do I get a picture?"  "Develop film, what's that?"  "You have to advance the film, what is that?"  We will see how the project turns out once he finished taking his photos.

On Saturday we stumbled upon some free cut and assemble projects online and better yet, they were Mario.  Jackson took this to school today:

You can download the printable Mario and lots of other fun fellas right here.

New Book!

Oliver & S is one of my favorite pattern companies. I love the extra details they put into their patterns.  And they released a book chuck fill of great items.  That makes me extra super happy! :)  

Here is the first item created.   A bucket hat using Amy Butler Love fabric line.  It is constructed as a reversible hat, but the addition of the  flower and monkey was more important for Jenna!  I will also add a neck strap for those windy days.  Now....all we need is warm weather and sunshine!
