Bonnie the sled is an ornament from JoAnn's- 70% off and you can paint it if you like.
I had to order the boats and oars for the pirate swap l;ast night, so while i was doing that I found a sled on the same website and ordered it. It was only a couple of bucks and saved me a trip out on the second most crazy shopping day of the year

I tried to post earlier, but hte computer froze on me and I didn't feel like waiting for it to reboot to post again. So there it is. The website has some really adorable little wooden things!
And Kris, go ahead and do the ships. I was thinking the boats would be more of a companion to the ships ... like a life boat, or the boat the pirates take when they dock the pirate ship to take the row boat to shore. Or you could do pirates. That was what I was originally intending but I can't get the *@^#)! peg leg on and I don't want to make them without the peg leg because I am anal and obsessive, rofl!
you could always just wrap the one leg in brown with no foot...
off to look at wood stuff...
No, see, I found the perfect little wooden peg legs. They are the perfect size and look great when next to the pirate, lol. I just can't get them to stay attached to the pipe cleaner. If I could somehow put a teeny tiny hole through each one, then I would be able to thread the flos sthrough to get it to stay attached, but I don't haveanything to do that with, plus they are tiny and thin and would probably split. And now that i have the wooden peg leg pirate in my head, I just can't make it with floss instead, because it will never look right to anal and obsessive me.
Now, why do I wonder why Holden spends hours lining cars and trains up in perfect little lines, and stacking his cars on top of each other until they are just so? LOL! He is his mama's little boy, that's for sure!

Oh Bonnie, now you are putting this imagine in my mind....where did you find the peg legs? i need to see these...
Hunter can be the same way, having to do something till its just exactly right!
I found them with the wood things at Michael's Craft Store. I can't remember what they are actually supposed to be. I will have to look later to see if the package is stil with the peg legs and post back
