Missing my Little Man

So my little man left early this morning for CA. I'm excited and nervous for him. Hopefully it will go well. In his absence I have gotten several projects done. This weekend I was able to fix a bracelet for a co-worker of my husband and it turned out well. Then this morning I was able to make 10 new flower clips to sell. So now all I need to do is post them on the site which I'll be able to do later today during Miss Ellies nap time. Now if I could just figure out why she's fussy.

Company

So this week I will be posting only occasionally due to my dad coming into town this week. I need to clean up the craft room and clean the kids bedrooms and their bathroom before he comes, so I won't have much time for crafting. I'm excited and nervous though since my dad will be taking little man back to CA for a few days and I'm still not sure if I'm ready to be away from him for that long. I'm also excited about this trip because it means that my mom will be bringing little man back home with her so I'll get to see both of my parents. Now that I've taken some time away from cleaning up, I should get back to work. Hopefully this will be a good week for us, since it's been kind of crazy already, so send some prayers our way.

Pants Project

So today I sewed up some pants for Baby B from the leftover remnants of the shirt I made into a dress. I still need to finish the detail work that I want to do, but for now they're pants. I'm really proud of myself, since I'm less than confident in my skills. I hope to finish them this weekend after the baby shower. I just realized that I need to go get to work making something that says Baby B to put the bows on. Better get to work before Hottie hubbie gets home from work, since he's off early tonight. Have a good weekend everyone.

New Projects

So for the past few days I've been preparing for a cousins baby shower on my husbands side. I'm excited to say that it's finally done. I've made several very cute bows, burp cloths and a diaper wipe case cover. I love her gift. I'm also proud to say that I upcycled one of my shirts. I really loved the shirt, but within a few days of buying it the shirt ripped. I had tried to patch the shirt, but it didn't work so I put the shirt up until I could figure it out. Well, the other day I came across some wonderful blogs from other crafty mamas. They even had tutorials on how to make their wonderful ideas. So I took the tutorial and instead of using a tank top I used my shirt and since it was a low v-neck shirt I added black fabric and lace to "cover up." I love what I did. I'm just learning to sew, so it feels really good to see a project that I made completed and ready to use.
