Milk Carton Gift Box

I have been saving garbage and recyclables for a while now. We go through a lot of milk and I haven't had a great use for the cartons. Here's a little gift box I came up with. Pardon the photo quality, my computer is broken so I'm coming at you with my Blackberry. I think I'll experiment with painting or papering it, then tie it with a pretty ribbon.

A gift for Narboo.

Megan's birthday gifts. She really wanted me to knit gifts for her, but in the end they were no match for the store-bought gifts. Oh well, she's 5 so I'll try not to take it too personally.

A baby shower gift. I didn't get a single decent photo of this matching hat and doll. Maybe I'll get a picture of the little guy with them after he's born!

My contribution to the National Gallery of Australia.

Found on the Oregon Coast

We spent last weekend at the Oregon Coast. I found some great stuff!

I found these market bags at the Sunday Market in Astoria. I bought the pink one first and couldn't stop thinking about the orange so I ran back and got that too! My photo is no good, you really should check out her etsy shop to see all their glory!

While in Astoria, we also found the Lunar Boy Gallery. If my kids were somewhere else, I could have spent hours here. This is where I discovered the Girl Band. Unfortunately we were on our way home and the spending spree was officially over. I must get one ASAP.

I picked up a few yarns at Creative Beginnings in Seaside and Coastal Yarns in Cannon Beach.

We arrived Thursday afternoon, my 5 year old broke her arm Friday morning. She is very brave and we still managed to have a nice trip.
