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.

MORE DOTEE DOLLS AND SWEATER PURSES

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the final 3 Dotee Dolls.

Also I've included pictures of 2 sweater purses made a little while ago. Kaylee uses hers to keep her Littlest Pet Shop toys in.

DOTEE DOLL GOODNESS

I have completed several of the Dotee dolls for the teachers. It's a shame they won't get them until Monday. Both punkin's have double ear infections, so we were at the doctor's office instead of school. Aren't their little backsides just too cute?

GETTING READY FOR EASTER!!!!

It is hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner. Luckily I planned a bit ahead and picked these books up a couple months ago for the kiddies baskets.

I found them at the Salvation Army Store. I did have to clean them up a bit but for 99 cents, where else you going to get write on wipe off talking books?

Yesterday I finally stopped by a local bead shop-right up the road from me--ooh, lah, lah, simply divine. It has been open at least a year and I wish I would have stopped sooner. The beads are out of this world and resonably priced. I found these for making kaylee a necklace. She is so into red and kitties.

For myself I bought these...

Actually the white one I bought to make my sister a necklace for her birthday. She collects the glass hens on nest or whatever they're called. I better run school is out shortly.

Dotee Dolls

Oh yes we have been busy. whipped up some small items like this Dotee doll for Kaylee, her request a mermaid with pom poms, if you get my drift. The Dotee doll is inspired by Dot @ http://dotslifeandart.blogspot.com/ .

Of course I just have to make some for the teachers. I need 8 for all them so I will have lots of fun experimenting. Here are some in progress.

Here are a couple of preemie outfits that I made and sent off in a recent swap. I just love tiny little clothes. These would fit a 2-4 pounder.
