I just love elastic thread! I can’t believe it took me so long to discover it! Anyhow, last week I made another shirt. And let me just say again how much I just love this shirt pattern!

So, here it is! (drum roll please) My re-covered car seat! Ta Da! I am so pleased with the way it turned out! I wasn’t 100% sure I would even be able to do it, but I am glad I gave it a go. And even though it is far from perfect….it is pretty good for a first timer! Plus, my grandma always says that the little mistakes is what gives your sewing character, and that has always made me feel better when things turn out just a little, um, flawed. ha ha.

(You can click HERE to see what it looked like before.)

I sure hope my son appreciates all the work I put into his seat…he really isn’t old enough to thank me yet—but someday I know he’ll be grateful that he didn’t have to ride around town in a pink flowered chair! ha ha.

Now, what to do about that pink boppy pillow he has been using. hmm.

So, note to the wise…if you have a little girl, who loves pink—don’t indulge her by purchasing a pink car seat…because then, if you are like me, you will have a little boy whose biggest fear is that he will have to grow up and sit in it.

The goal for today was to re-cover this thing….I almost finished…but then I went on a needle breaking rampage and I had to stop. buggar. Hopefully (cross fingers) I’ll be able to finish tomorrow morning…and then I’ll post some pics and hopefully (cross fingers again) get lots of compliments—because I’m pretty sure my car seat re-covering career is over…

Hello Blog.

I just thought I would write you a quick hi…and say I miss you.

I’m not sure why I can’t seem to find the time to write a post…just a little post…a tincy wincy itty bitty tiny post. (Does this one count? hmmm. not sure.)

Anyhow, I thought I would just tell you that I have been really busy…you know, doing stuff like gathering flowers (aka weeds) into buckets with my daughter…

planting flowers (the real kind) in my window well…..and chanting “grow, grow, grow” for hours on end…

trying to do the dishes with the help of my son…

you know…that kind of thing. I just knew you would understand. Still I do miss you…and one of these days—I’ll be back

Hope you have a happy day!

Sincerely,

Anne

I have been looking for this picture for what seems like For-ev-er! And I just happened across it today while I was searching through iPhoto for some other lost picture. oh dear. Anyhow, I haven’t been in a very crafty mood lately—I have had so much going on, and I haven’t been sleeping very well. boo hoo. poor me. So, I thought I would just share a crafty project that I did way back when…hmm, when did I make these? ha ha. who knows?

In case you can’t tell from the picture, these onesies are stuffed using about 15 newborn diapers and they are snapped around a bottle of baby powder.  I actually started off with plain white onesies and used Iron-on appliques that I got from JoAnn’s to dress them up a bit. (I fell in love with the “little stinker” one….wish I would have kept it. ha ha.) Before I gave them away, I wrapped them in clear cellophane and added a matching ribbon and card. so cute.

Anyhow, they make for a pretty simple and cute baby shower gift…if you’re looking for some ideas .

Have a Happy Day!
