Contruction Wipes Container

So I've been thinking about doing this, and finally just did it:
Don't you just love Modge Podge!?!
The top didn't turn out perfect, but I thought it was good for my first attempt at this. I love how it matches the boys room....now I've got to recover the changing pad....

Construction Truck Pillowcases

So the boys needed matching pillowcases:

I made 2 like this with yellow trim and 2 yellow ones with the blue truck print for the trim.

Finally...Contruction Truck Blankets!

So when Nathan was a baby...I wanted to do the "boy" room in construction stuff...esp. since John was working on the temple as it was being built. I found this cute fabric...after looking for a long time and bought everything on the bolt. Then it just sat until last week when I finally got my act together and took them to my Grandma's house.

I have lots of childhood memories about my Grandma sewing, esp. quilts...she has a small business to stitch the quilts to the batting...sorry I don't know what that's called...but she's great at it! She let me pick a pattern...she had a lot to pick from! And turned my fabric into these beautiful quilts for the boys! Nathan was so excited! He had a huge grin and squeal and kept saying "Car, Car, Car" as he pointed to them all. So take a look:

The tops:

Yellow back: Check out the cool design with the thread!

She even bound the quilts for me!

Thanks Grandma!!

Hair Flower

Kari and I found matching dresses for our girls at a yard sale and made matching hair flowers:
We used modge podge, scrapbook paper and the flat marbles to make the center and glued them onto the center of the flowers. We will definitely be making more...so cute!! They are a bit heavy, so we used stronger clips.

Kyla loves it...and wants every dress she has to match a friend's.

Crinkly Tag Toy

Got this idea here. I used a wrapper from microwave popcorn and sewed it into this:




It makes a great crinkly sound and has the fun little tags to play with, too and it is small to toss in a diaper bag.
