Go Fish

I was cleaning up my crafting area and came across this project that was almost finished and decided to just finish it. I found the idea at Just Another Day in Paradise. I made mine an educational game to get my son to say his colors. My boys LOVE this. They have packed the fish around everywhere. I was going to make a fishing pond, but we have a large blue bucket that works great, so I went with that.

I even had fun playing with the kids.

Baby Boy Burp Clothes

My friend has puppy dogs for her boys' room, so I chose this fabric and made some burp clothes for her.

Baby Boy Car Seat Blanket

I thought the print on this flannel was really cute for a boy. I made this one for my good friend who is adopting a little boy the beginning of May.

I used this tutorial again.

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

I love reading a good book...so I'll start sharing with you books I've read. I really liked this book. It was 500 something pages and I finished it in 5 days...then told myself I had to wait to check out another good book until I got caught up on some things. :) This is the Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. I found out about it on Goodreads and checked it out from our local library.

She has 2 more books available at our local library, but they both have a waiting list, so I'll read a book by a different author in the meantime, but I am looking forward to reading her other books.!

Baby Shower Cake

My sister thought it would be fun to throw a surprise baby shower for my sister-in-law who just adopted a baby girl. I was lucky to help plan it...it was fun. She made this cute diaper cake for her and had the idea to decorate it with hair bows for her new baby...I loved that idea. We chose the colors pink, white and brown. So we each made some hairbows and clipped them on when we got there...I think it turned out cute:
