BABY BONNET AND BOOTIES

I am finally getting around to posting pics of the baby items, one set for a girl and the other for a boy.

I made the bonnet for the boy reversible, and included a close up of the booties to show the detail on the flannel.

Next step a quickie quilt!!!

11 PAIRS OF SHORTS

Ah, finally some progress.

11 pairs, it would be better if I could figure out what I did with the other 6 yards of elastic that I had in my hand a couple of days ago. Then I could really finish the last 5 pairs.

Next project-baby booties and hat/bonnet.

After some homework though. What a bummer, I can't wait until this class is over with...4 more weeks!!!!

SPRING BREAK FUN!!!

We have been having so much fun, the weather here is finally warming up and yesterday we celebrated Titus' 5th birthday.

He chatters about Chucke Cheese quite a bit so that is where we ended up. At first he no inkling get close to the singing puppets, but it didn't take long and he was dancing his heart out. Forget the games and mini rides..Titus wanted to see Chucke.

It was worth every minute of painfully corny music to see him hop in bed with a great big smile on his face. Of course most of his gifts were CARS themed, including the McQueen/Mater mini quilt I whipped up for him. It was so simple too! Two yards of coordinating fabric and some batting. He promptly ditched the Spiderman comforter off his bed in favor of the quilt. Funny thing is I thought he'd get rid of his ratty old afghan and use the little quilt, but no he pitched the big comforter, covering up with his new blanket that barely covers him. I should have known to make at least a twin size blanket :)

I have also been working on making shorts for the kids. I already had fabric and a pattern so I thought I'd whip up several pairs. Then out of the blue the opportunity to make a baby gift popped up so this week I'll hopefully be putting together some booties and bonnet for a little boy. I'll post pictures later...Take care.
