Kiddos

So I went to put on my shoes the other day and little boy (I have not thought of a cute witty name for the kids in the blogging world) looks at me and with a surprised look on his face says, "Mommy! More shoes!", "yes" I said "more shoes".

Sleepyhead is mad at me. I had the audacity to leave her and little boy for 4 hours today. Granted, that is the longest time I have left her in her 3 months of life. She has to get used to it though. I am back at work, and while I work from home, I will have to leave occasionally to do various things. She has not let me put her down in the 4 hours I have been home. I told her she would be better if she actually took a bottle. She is a bit of a picky little girl. She does not like a bottle, heck, I would be happy if she would nurse on both sides!

Car Seat cover


I made a car seat cover for Sleepyhead. I made it using this tutorial

It was supper easy! It would have been even easier if I had remembered to take into consideration seam allowances when I pieced together the top, doh! I ended up cutting down the liner layer to make up for the short top layer, but it worked out and Sleepyhead got a cute cover to keep out the cold.
I made it out of a bedspread I bought at Gabes http://www.gabrielbrothers.com/ for $1.99 and a remnant of corduroy that I bought for some unknown reason (I really need to stop doing that, as my craft room is at max capacity!) for $1.50 adding a bit of Velcro from the stash and I had a cheap, but really cute cover. Looking at the picture, I just realized that I sewed the straps on so that they fasten in different directions, oh well. I will have to remember that for when (if) I make this again for gifts. It would be something really nice to give, and something great to do with all of those yards of fabric that I buy because it is cheap, or I just love, did I mention that I need to stop doing that!
