Another Project Complete

I've had my wicker furniture for several years now and since I got them I've said I was going to recover the cushions and pillows. However, I could never find material I liked or get myself really motivated to find something and do the work to recover them. About a month ago I happened to just be browsing the fabric at Walmart and found the perfect material (don't even ask why it took so long to get them done if I found it over a month ago - Walmart makes me crazy sometimes). I recovered all the cushions (they were hunter green w/ flowers before - out of date) and the pillows. Kurt is almost done touching up the furniture with white paint. They look great again!

New Baby Cloth Diaper

I've been working on the cloth diapers to put under the covers for the new baby. However, I really need a newborn baby to try these on, it's hard to know if you have the correct size. I'm hoping these are nicer than just putting a piece of fleece down over the prefold. While I was making them I decided to make one for Amelia to see just how well it was going to work before I really get going. The nice thing with fleece is that I don't have to put a cover on it all the time and I'm going to try that with Amelia today. I don't like the idea of the snappi on though without a cover, that sucker poked me big time in the finger and it still hurts two days later. With Amelia I can see her trying to pull it off, or if I have it on the baby like that one of the kids messing with it and it snapping the baby - not good. Maybe I will look into the snap thing, or Velcro. Here's my model who is seriously loving it! I know the color is drab, but until I know if we're having a boy or girl I just got something neutral.Something about cloth diaper butts are just too cute!

There were elephants!

Last night we went to the circus! It was a lot of fun even though Landen was cranky from not taking a nap. It was small but I couldn't believe it actually lasted two hours and kept our attention the entire time. I actually forgot what the circus was like it's been so long since I've actually been to one. I'm so glad we took the kids though! Landen is still talking about the elephants today and googling over the pictures every chance he gets. Both the kids got their first taste of cotton candy too... oh it was so yummy!

On another note... I have so many posts in my head but when it comes time to write them out it's just a bunch of mumbled words. Lots of things I've been thinking about and hopefully I'll get a chance to share them. I finished part of Amelia's Halloween costume yesterday! Ooohh...it's so cute! I've been getting crafty around here - Landen and I have been doing crafts almost everyday & I made this adorable hair clip holder for Amelia too!

Here's the sneak peak... more to come!

My new Business... Yah Right!

It didn't take me a month like predicted! I finished my very first curtain. I think it looks pretty good, considering all I did was look at another one that was kind of like it. Now don't go critiquing it because I know there are crooked seams and things like that, but I like it. I'll be taking custom orders starting July 1st. LoL! Hopefully not too much longer and I can reveal the new room. This curtain is part of the new window treatments.
