Hi all, I wanted to add my crafty contribution to the thread (I'll add pics when I figure out how to)
My little boy has CF and a congenital heart diformaty resulting in him tiring quickly so fopr now whenwe are out we always have his pushchair with us, down side is it gets really cold which isn't good for him but he is too tall for the cosytoes we can buy so I made my own, from a sleeping bag!, I cut it to length (allowing room for him to grow a bit more), used the seat liner as a template to cut the holes for the harness and added short drawer strings to close it slightly round his shoulders (not long enough though to risk getting tangled though). I then sprayed the lower half with the stuff you can use to waterproof boots and low and behold, I had what we have affectionately called the 'Toddler toes'. Since he is schedules for corrective surgery next spring by next winter he should be strong enough to manage walking around with us so the buggy will be retired and I won't have had to shell out for an expensive wheelchair and accesories (but if he needs it he will have it).

That is really clever Trilly- what a great way to make what you need.

Hi Trilly and welcome. Necessity is the mother of invention & you are a creative and great mother. Sending (((((Hugs))))) for you and your precious boy.
While this isn't exactly a "craft," it was certainly a project.
My roommate and I installed track shelves on Tuesday!
Also check out the Totoro that I made! My biggest stuffed animal project to date.

Well, I didn't anticipate the response everyone gave me on my tips. Thanks to you all. I put in an application to take it to the next level.
What talent we all have here.

Knit up this little guy in about three days for a secret santa. I wish it stretched more, I did my intarsia too tight. Again!
Nice groupie. I tried to teach myself knitting & didn't do well. Wasn't good with arthritis any- but I had fun trying
Cute idea! You can use those paint swatches at the home stores too. But you CAN NOT use photos with that sealer..they will run. You can however use a clear contact paper or craft sealer (ask the craft person which one to protect the photos.
