Busy day

Girls have daycare today - YAY! I'm hoping after I go to the bank, post office and store, I'll still have time after finishing 2 orders to clean up the house a bit before having to pick them up....think I can do all of that in 4 and a half hours? Then we're going over to a friend's house....hopefully. It's been hard to get together lately - actually it's been hard to get together the past year but I'm crossing my fingers today! I realized yesterday that she is the only person that I talk to face-to-face here other than employees at check-out counters. sooooooooooooo sad.

I left the girls alone with yogurt in the kitchen and Jocelyn won't stop screaming about something so I should probly go see what they are doing.

Back to blogging

Ok, it has been FOREVER since I've blogged but as I was searching the internet today for some fun craft ideas, I ran into a bunch of bloggers blogging about crafts and crafting so I guess you could say I'm inspired...inspired to craft and blog.

I was proud of myself for finishing a big order today - only 3 days behind schedule - so I decided to take some time out to do something new instead of "work". I had been wanting to make some zippy pouches for a while now...not really sure how they will fit into my baby boutique but for some reason they just look fun and easy to make so I gave it a shot.

Don't look too close! I haven't mastered the zipper yet.

Super cute, huh? I love it!


Here's a picture of Joe getting in the way while I was taking pictures.

That project was over so fast that I felt the need to do some more crafting. I looked up some patterns for toy blocks and balls and here is the end result:

I can see myself making a TON of these! The girls love them too so I think I'm going to go get some bells to put in the middle and practice making them to sell on my website. I'll need to work on a couple orders tomorrow but once they are done, I plan to work on some matching cubes. I love new projects!


Here is half of the order I finished today:

The other half was a matching Britax Marathon cover. I'm proud of this one though because it was my first Britax Regent/Husky cover and it's a funky shape. I'm always nervous the first time I make a cover for a new model but they always turn out great =)


I really need to get off this computer - which is new by-the-way (yay tax return!) - I need to try to clean up a bit before hitting the sack. The girls went nuts today destroying the house while I was crafting.
