Outdoor Pillows

Today I whipped up two outdoor pillows for my furniture on my deck.  Joann's had their outdoor canvas on sale for 50% off, so who could pass up that offer?  I did though, accidentally buy the wrong size pillows for the inside so one is smaller than the other.  They were really quick and super easy to make.  I think though I'm gonna make some larger ones for the love seat and pass these two onto the chairs.

Napkin swap!

Here are all the beautiful napkins wrapped up.  They even came with some great smelling hand sanitizer.

Here are all the napkin prints.  Everyone did such a great job! We got such a nice variety.

Here is the one I made.

Thank you so much Karina for hosting this swap for us and putting in the extra time and thought to make it happen!!!

Hmmm..

You are probably wondering what this is.... Well, it's a costume for my little sister's rat. She works at Pets Mart and called me a few weeks ago to see if I could make her rat a costume. The employees are having a costume contest with their pets and since most people are brining their cats and dogs she wanted to bring her rat. This wasn't my original plan for the costume but when I went to get the fabric they didn't have the right kind for plan A or plan B. So this is what I came up with. Hopefully I can get some pics of it on the rat...lol.

First Cart Cover Attempt

Here is my first cart cover. I looked at some pics and just kinda "winged" it. I think I made the leg openings to big. This cover is being demonstrated on a Food Lion cart. But I think the Walmart carts are alot "deeper" than this one. So we'll have to see. This is the first time Jhet has ever sat in a cart. To bad we only came to get the pictures and didn't actually "use" the cart...lol. I also wanted this so we would have a cover for the highchairs when we go out to eat.

I still have to add the seat belt to this which will be happening with in the next month or so.

The contrasting fabric on the other side of this is green.

Black Skull Diaper

Here is my latest diaper. I think this is the best one so far. I love the applique skull on the back. I'm also glad that it has snaps. I'm excited about trying it out!

Napkin Swap

Here are my napkins for the napkin swap. I enjoy doing this swap and haivng a few diffrent fabrics in the mix. If anyone is still interested in joining it's not to late to sign up. You can sign up here.

New Wool Cover

Here is a wool cover I made today from a recycled sweater. This pattern turned out ok, but I think nex time I'm gonna try a diffrent one. I made the legs long so he could wear it longer.

Trin's New Gown

Here is a pair of pajamas I have been working on for weeks. Slowly cutting out a piece here and a piece there. Sewing it a little bit at a time. But I finally finished it and she loves it. I want to get some more fabric and make her a few more.

Baby Legs

Here are some baby legs I whipped up today. I can't believe how easy they are to make. The pair in the middle I bought before Jhet was born and the two pairs on the side Jhet received as Christmas gifts so I could make him some baby legs from his uncle and aunt. He's sleeping now, but hopefully I can get some action shots later.

Another Summer Dress

Here is the latest summer dress I made for Trin. I made this a few weekends ago. It has two pockets on the front which Trin loves.

New Summer Dress

I finally was feeling good enough to do a little sewing. So I made this dress for Trin. She picked out the solid purple wich I was suprised she didn't want something more flowery. So I added the ribbon to give it a little color. The front top is like a wrap and it crosses over itself. Hard to see in the pic though.

Also, I have an online baby poll going for the stats of my baby. I'm inviting everyone to participate. The link is at the top of the page :)

Best Mommy Ever

My Mom made this dress for me before I started sewing. I needed a "fancy" dress for a military ball. So my Mom and I went and picked out the fabric and the pattern for it. She made this a little over 5 years ago and this is the second time I have worn it. I have a "tea party" tonight that I am going to and this is what I am wearing. Thanks Mom!

Closer pic of the dress. It's kinda wrinkled at the bottom...I did iron it, but I guess after 5 years of being "bagged up" the wrinkles were a litttle stubborn.

This is just a head shot that Shane took. He is working on "something" and needs head shots of all of us so he went ahead and took mine....and whatever it is he said the background won't be in it. And my eyes are open...

Mycah's New Shorts

I whipped up these shorts this morning for Mycah. I bought extra of this fabric so I could make these shorts and not only just a diaper. Mycah loves planes and helicopters.

I am also working on a quilt pattern for one of the baby gifts I am making. It is a very simple design and I am hoping to get the fabric picked out for it Friday.

First Fitted Diaper Attempt

Well, I made my first diaper today. For this diaper I used cheap flannel from Walmart for my practicing. I can't wait to start using my real materials for my diapers....and to find out what sex our next baby will be so I can start making gender specific diapers.
This diaper came out good. There are a few things that I need to fix for in the future though. I used velcro for this diaper, but my future ones will have snaps on them. All in all I think it was a great first try :)

Another New Dress

Here is another dress like the purple one I made for Trin. This was the original fabric Trin had picked out, but then she saw the purple and chose that. Well, since the fabric was 60% off and they were practically giving it away I went back and got it and made her another dress similar to her other.

This one does not have folds at the bottom, but instead I put ruffles.

New Pajama Bottoms for Trin

Here are Trin's new pajama bottoms. They were pretty easy. I sewed them up last night. I really love this flannel. I bought it to start making diapers, but ended up with this. I got this flannel at my Walmart for 50% off. It is one of the ones that are closing their fabric department :(

Trin was being really cuddley with Daddy this morning. These were some pics I took before I got her pj pics. She even wanted Daddy to walk to the door with her to get her pic taken, it was really sweet.

Mycah's New Napkins

Here are Mycah's new napkins. He picked out this fabric for them. He LOVES planes and helicopters. I had wanted to make more than three, but with trying to cut the napkins so they have the whole plane on them makes it harder to get as many out of the fabric. They are backed with cream flannel.

I also finished a pair of pajama bottoms for Trin tonight, but she is not up to try them on so I will post pics of them tomorrow :)
