Super cute Soakers for the Super Cute Babe!!

I found myself with a rare weekend off and my lovely wife let me have a mini sew marathon. I turned out a few new fleece soakers for the babe!! They turned out super cute and of course Elliot looks adorable in them. Joann was having a 50%off sale on all of their fleece so I had several different prints to choose from. I finished 3 longies and 2 shorts completely. I have 6 shorts just waiting on waistbands to be complete.

Visiting the North Pole

We took the girls on a train ride to visit the North Pole over the weekend...or so they thought. Kids will believe anything if you give them cookies! Audrey really enjoyed the train ride, Elliot really enjoyed trying to chew on the seat cushions. This was the first year Audrey didn't scream bloody murder the second she was placed on Santa's lap. Way to go girl!

Cloth Diaper JACKPOT!!!


Jenny and I found ourselves in Target the other night looking for I don't know what when I looked up at an end cap to find Bum Genius OS cloth diapers SUPER CHEAP! We may or may not have got crazy purchasing 17 of them. This is the first time I have ever even seen Target carry cloth, let alone marked down so low. Yay for adding to our collection and never having to buy diapers again!!!

Handmade Holidays

I made this cute and simple Ballet Bag for Audrey. Just something for her to carry her ballet shoes to and from class every week. It's lined with the same color as the straps and turned out to be almost exactly what she wanted (upon completion she informed me that she had wanted a rectangle bag - not a square).

My kids hate to wear clothes

Winter is really starting to show its ugly face but Elliot still HATES wearing clothes. Here she is during a brief moment of joy when I let her remain near naked for a few extra minutes between wardrobe changes.
