Tonight's little project.

So I've been wanting to add guitars to the boys onesies, similar to the tie onesies that I made. I found this tutorial at treyandlucy.blogspot.com.

I also made matching drool bibs I found this tutorial on a mommy friend's site, dirtydiaperlaundry.com has a very easy to follow tutorial. This is a great blog. She has some great tutorials, product reviews, & lots of tips on how to be a Green Momma!!

I did it....again!!

I plan on making a baby blanket for a shower gift. So, what better way to practice than to make a blanket for the boys. The shower gift is for a baby girl, I found some beautiful purple fabric. Here is the practice blanket.

I DID IT!!

I did it. I bought a sewing machine & I made something. Woo hoo!! I know, I'm lame, but I actually feel like I accomplished something. I haven't worked since I was put on bed rest (July 2008) while pregnant with the twins, so my sense of individuality has been gone for quite some time now. So, here is my lame attempt at being creative. You can find tutorials for both projects at treyandlucy.blogspot.com.

A few shirts that I made for Payton or they could be worn as a dress for a little one:

Crafty Momma

I have had some strange need to feel like I'm accomplishing something while staying home. Of course, I'm taking care of our home & raising three children, two of which are 6 months old & a complete handful. For some reason I feel like I need a hobby. (A hobby? right?? Like I have time for that. HA!) I believe this need for a hobby or project is more of a need for a sense of accomplishment, something that is only for me, no kids, just me.

So here I am within the last two days; with a blog, thinking of buying a sewing machine (what in the world would I make with a sewing machine), I just need something. I truly am researching the purchase of a sewing machine. I'm not entirely sure what I would make with one, but it sounds like fun. I'm sure I'll figure something out.
