purchases

I found the cutest shoes I've ever seen for Ian yesterday. They are converse - I'm in love with them.

Also, this cute dress for Parker (click on it so you can see the fabric).

Parkers Quilt

There will be more colors and it will be layed out differently at the end, but do you like the blocks? Please send me pictures!

Christmas Projects

Amy and I have been busy doing projects since I got here. Some turned out not so Martha Stewart, and others turned out well. Here are a few of the good ones.

A late baby gift for a old friend( burp cloth and onsie)

Some cute shirts amy made

some more cute burp cloths

Ian's busy book

This has been taking up all of my time and I am kind of glad that there are at least a couple pages put together so I can take a little break (even though I still have three to put together - including a magnetic tic tac toe one that curt can't wait for - and many many more I want to do).

Cover - oil cloth, I still need to buy the rings so it is put together with yarn

Page one - the lettering is all done with iron-ons

The froggy mouth is a zipper - with felt bugs inside

The rocket page is my favorite - designed after the rocket ship on Ian's japanese eating mat on his little table - the planets velcro on and off.Actually the watermelon is designed after that mat too - seeds are snaps.

The robots arms and legs are brads so they move - and the doggy has a leather nose, furry ears and a sandpaper paw

THis page has netting in the basket so you can see what is in there (thanks laura's mom for that good idea and for pattern book!)

I also just finished pillow cases to go with the comforter of Gran's that I made this summer (you can't tell but they are made with the same fabric that I backed the quilt with) - I am a sewing fool. Next up chair cushions for the kitchen and a little curtain - but I need moms help :(

Back to blogging

I think these are cool, not worth 11 bucks for three, but still cool.

These are from a company in france. They are really awesome, i would love to have some for parker's room.

First try

These are supposed to be for the mobile - but I am going to redo the fish - I don't really like how it came out. Maybe I will use flannel instead of the wool felt....
