projects

Here are a few projects I've been up to in the last little while.

Homemade Boppy pillow with matching burp rags:

I made these for my sister-in-laws baby shower.



It was super easy and pretty inexpensive. I got the idea of the burp rags from Anne who made me some and I LOVE them! So this is my attempt to mimic her ridiculously good sewing skills. :)

Shirt dress:
Nicole posted a thing on her blog about how to turn an old men's dress shirt into a cute dress for little girls, I thought it was an awesome idea so I decided to take the idea and create something new. I had these two shirts that were a dollar at K-mart, and because of the price and because they looked like they might work for maternity shirts ( I was prego at the time) I didn't try them on and just bought them. So when I got home I tried them on and they didn't even come close to covering my belly, I set them aside for post pregnancy clothes. When I tried them on post prego, they made me look prego. So I thought they would be perfect to make into a little girls dress. I took the measurments of my niece and just scaled down the shirt to fit like a dress and Wa La, here is what it looks like:


I've been on a kick of turning some of the clothes I never wear into something wearable this last week but haven't completed any yet, but I will post when I do.
Other projects that I don't have pic's of are a bean stuffed snake for my nephew and a pink fuzzy stuffed butterfly for my niece.

I have also been doing a garden box this year and its doing okay I guess. I have gotten one zuccini and three small tomatoes so far. This 100 degree heat is pretty hard on them right now though. Here's a pic of my garden box when I first got it started.


Anyways, those are just a few of the things I've been up to.

4 months

Rosalie is 4 months old today!



It has gone by SO fast! Here are a few things she been up to now-a-days. She loves to stand and move around, she has always been our little wiggles. She is a very happy baby as well, always smiling. She currently has a meltdown at precisely 9:00 pm if anyone other then me is holding her. Hopefully its just a phase, we are working through it. :) She has a little laugh, I wouldn't call it a giggle but a few hardy Ha ha's. She loves listening to music and being lifted up in the air. I don't know what she weights or how tall she is but I know she is growing super fast. I have an appointment next week so I will have to update this. We love Rosalie and feel so blessed to have her!
