A Horskey Hoodie for Annabelle…

My kids love to draw. I get multiple drawings from them per day. Obviously, I can’t keep them all. I already have bags of school artwork waiting to be transformed into a photo book. Typically, I’ll keep their drawings for a week or so..then I secretly throw them away. Or…I get busted by my 5 year old. However, I do keep my favorites. I’ve been wanting to turn some of their drawings into appliqués for a project I’m working on. So…I thought nothing of it, when I grabbed this little horse/donkey hybrid {horskey} from Jackson’s wall to start my project.

After I had painstakingly scanned, cut, traced, and prepared my appliqué…I held it up to show my husband.

Me: look…how stinkin’ cute!

Chris: um…yeah…I actually drew that.

Me: what? are you kidding me?

Chris: {laughing} no…I drew it.

Me: {slightly disguntled} oh perfect! so….you draw like a caveman?

ACK!! I couldn’t use it for the project I intended…but, I didn’t want to throw it out.

So…I did this instead…a little horskey hoodie for Annabelle. I embellished him and added a saddle. I actually kind of love it…there’s something very charming about it’s primitiveness.
