I think you get bonus points for the Red with blue flowers one! That is red white and blue! Very cute!



****(In case anyone cares, I gave up on the weaning. DD has a cold and yesterday was awful. She wasn't drinking enough because her nose was stuffy. She couldn't sleep flat. So we decided to put her in our bed so she could sleep sitting up. DH & I decided to just give up weaning. We decided to just wait till she feels better to attempt it again.)

Yay! I had to delete my attachments but I can now add new ones of projects completed!
I've included the car seat canopy, 2 of the 5 most recent diapers and 1 of the 2 wreaths I've made!

I cannot believe you just started sewing!!!! You are putting me to shame, woman!

Haha if you saw it up close, you would easily see the flaws! Lol. At least you did the zippers! I'm terrified but I will break that this week... Or next.. Maybe lol

It turned out super cute!!! I'm sorry it's frustrating when you can't get what you need or are charged an outrageous amount for it ;-(

McCalls patterns in general drive me bonkers!!

I made a quilt block this weekend, part of a block of the month project, so I don't get the next block until the weekend, and obviously can't make the whole quilt, but that was my big accomplishment this weekend.

My kids were sick for two weeks and I'm behind at work, so I'm trying to recover from all of that, I need to look at my stash and plan on what to do to join for real in March!

Gah! I love my kids!!

We just spent quite some time making fabric notebook covers together. We just used lots of scraps and modge podge...anyway- while we were working on them, they asked me how many points it would get me and what the bonus was (my two older kids cared- the little one didn't)- then they planned and made sure to get red, white and blue on their notebooks so I would get extra points!

Not that I am raising competitive children or anything

Will post some pictures. I helped the 7 year old very little (on or two harder plans he had), the 5 year old with the cutting (but her design fully)- and the 3 year old I did all the cutting and gluing, but he did all the planning and sticking down! (And it is SOOO cute- I would gift it.)

Can't wait for them to dry so I can take some pictures and show you guys
