This And That

Check out my cutie in her little Pebbles hairdo. :-) What's even sweeter is that Caleb actually asked to be in the photo! He usually runs from the camera. They're getting so big.
This morning while I was getting ready I noticed Caleb making trips back and forth from my closet to my bedroom where I had Madeline in the pack-n-play. I had a bunch of extra kiddie sized hangers down on the lower bar where Caleb could reach them. He was systematically taking them in and giving them to Maddie one color group at a time. She thought it was hilarious, but he wasn't so pleased when she wouldn't hand them back to him.

And on a totally different note... If you know me at all you've realized by now that I use crafty stuff as my creative outlet. In fact, I have CADD (craft attention deficit disorder). It's very hard to stop myself from trying my hand at every type of crafting imaginable. Lately I've been doing a lot of sewing. It's fun. It's therapeutic. It's a great way to avoid scrubbing floors! Here's my latest project. It's a small tote bag with a fabric flower pin attached. It's so small because I had just made....

this apron and that's all of the material I had left over. It was just enough fabric to sit there and mock me. Who wants to waste that much material? I thought this was a good use for it. It's like a gift bag that the recipient can reuse. :-) I know this isn't a good picture of the apron, but it's the flower material on the top and stripes on the back (fully reversible) with the white pleated trim. So cute. Although I did end up taking the flower off and putting it on the bag. It's a pin. It can migrate if it wants to. All of that being said... I thought it was a cute little gift set. I haven't made a tote bag in a while and I'd forgotten how easy it really is.


Have a crafty day!
