Photo Updates

My sewing machine is back in my hands and is working so well! I don't know what they did but it was worth the $43 to get it fixed. This sweet old couple owns the store and I talked with them for about 15 minutes before I could get out the door. Now it's time to save up some money and search for attachments.


Here are some pictures of my first two projects. The first is a football pillow/blanket that I made for Mr. Man. It was supposed to be a Christmas present like 2 years ago, but at least it's done this year! Merry Christmas hun!!! I made it extra tall so it actually fits him since he's 6' something. The best part about it is you can use the pillow pocket as a foot warmer. I think I need to make myself one in pink because I always have cold feet.





The second thing I made was a diaper and wipe holder. I found a pattern online and worked off of it, but I think I need to do some more work on it because I can barely fit the wipe case and 2 diapers in there. The next design is going to be bigger and have a pocket for a paci. I am quite proud of my first real project though and look forward to making more. It was great to use for church since all we need for her is a sippy cup, diapers, and paci. I have been trying to find this carrier I saw in Baby Talk, I think, that could hold diapers, wipes, and a changing pad all in one small fabric thing tied with a ribbon. Designing a pattern for that will be the next project. I really like things that I can toss from one bag to another easily when I don't need to haul the diaper bag around. I know I'm going to be living with a diaper bag over my arm for the next 3-4 years at least, but at least I can try to make things cute...right? I think I'm finally going to be able to use some of the stuff I learned in math and mechanical drawing in high school. I started looking at cloth diaper patterns online. I don't know when I want to tackle something like that, but we'll see how things go.


These are a few pictures of Sweet Pea's first hair cut. She was mostly good for all of it and the results were cute. You can't really tell she got her hair cut, but at least the kid isn't on the verge of having a mullet anymore.
