Little Bo Peep

This was the most tedious part, with the exception of sewing the zipper in (first timer).

...and after about 7 hours of work, our lil' lady had a Little Bo Peep costume! She wants to wear it everyday.. :)

Labor Day Weekend

We have continued our Sunday Funday Family Day tradition. Yesterday, we decided to take Mia to the Children's Museum... as did every other family living in the desert, trying to escape the 114 degrees outside! Boy, did she(WE)have a ball!

After 3 hours (and well into nap time)of painting, dress up, blocks, wall pinball, wire maze, and rope madness -- we decided to pack it up and head to Joann's where I could grab the fabric I needed to make Mia's Halloween costume. Talk about a successful trip! We walked out of the store with 30 dollars in savings and more than just costume materials ---typical Joann trip. :)

Today has been the perfect craft day due to the slow drizzle since dawn. I got out all of my goodies from Joann's and washed, ironed and cut out Mia's costume. I would have started sewing, but rain is like trytophan for me... I get soo sleepy. So, sewing will commence tomorrow during Mia's nap time!

Baby Hooded Towels

These towels are the PERFECT baby shower gift, or if you're anything like me... a belated birth present. :)

I have found that Target has the best towels to use for this.. not too expensive,soft, and durable.

You will need: 1 wash cloth, 1 bath towel, and a spool of ribbon of your choice.

getting back into the groove..

Hello, again! It's been almost a year since the last post. I guess you can tell life got a little crazy after the lil' lady turned one! But I'm back... and am looking forward to keeping you updated with my latest crafts! I have a cricut machine coming in this week -- YAY! I'm about to explode with ideas; I'm beyond excited!
