In case you missed it on Saturday I posted a fun DIY knight shield and sword (that Oldest Twin helped me make and then modeled). You can see it here. I haven't done a lot of crafting since we moved. I definitely need to make more time for it. My husband is a hat wearer and Littlest is turning into one as well. I love the way his hair sticks out underneath this one.
