When I saw this truck shelf by That's My Letter floating around all over social media at Christmas time, I knew I wanted to make it. Being a mom to two girls however meant I really didn't build trucks (or so I thought).
A few weeks ago, I was over taken with the building bug! It was a lazy Sunday and I just wanted to be building. As luck would have it, my nephew was turning 3 that week. Down to my work shop I went, I grabbed my plans and dug around in my scrap pile (because I used scraps, I had to modify the plans to fit what I had).
And built this handsome fella!

The following Saturday we headed to his party. He opened his truck and set out to play with it. Sadly, this truck isn't a toy (the wheels are only on the front and do not turn) and he wasn't feeling it. Not wanting to disappoint the birthday boy, I promised to make a truck that he could play with and that I did!
Now here's the problem, my quality control checker (aka youngest) doesn't seem to want to give it up.
And now I am in the process of not only building another truck but a trailer to hitch on to it. According to my quality control inspector there isn't enough room for all her stuffies.
See how one thing leads to another and another.........
