FORTY FOUR

I already posted this picture to Facebook, but it is the only picture I took yesterday, so it is my 365 as well! For a while I have been toying with the idea in my head to make some custom things in Kai's "surf themed" room. Since we started making these blocks, I decided to make some handpainted blocks for his dresser to match. I am really so happy with how they turned out, unfortunatly I have found that none of these wooden blocks look as cute in the picture as they do in real life! I had so much fun making these because I felt like it was a unique project that is personalized just exactly how I want! I am looking forward to now making some for Kalan's "Nautical" room. Yes, I love the ocean if you can't tell, lol! Plus, I figured if the boys ever wanted to share a room, their decor would be somewhat compatible! When I was pregnant with Kai, I knew I wanted a "surf" room, but things were so hard to find for his nursery! Now, the theme has become much more popular and I don't have to pay to order decor from stores on ebay...or pay anyone at all, now that I can make my own! I am really loving having an artistic outlet and hope to get more and more into painting custom items for children's rooms!
