It is LJ’s birthday on Friday and we decided to add a crown in the package of presents for him to wear around. I did the hard part, cutting, gluing and writing words. “J” did the rest and had loads of fun doing it!

I know your birthday isn’t until tomorrow LJ, but we want to spread lots of wishes your way. Happy Birthday big guy!!!

Onward to some fun

at least for me. I love fabric…. LOVE fabric. I sew and I sew and I sew some more. Now that I am sewing for me, I love it again. Fabricland had a members only 50% off sale yesterday, if I could have carried more giant bolts to the table, I would have. Instead I stayed reserved, with my little list. Slings and baby things. With my sisters about to have their babies, I need gifts. And they are both having girls so why not make them a little package that they will hopefully love, filled with girly related baby things.

Here are the fabrics I chose yesterday:
Pink: for Diaper and wipe Cases, catchalls, bottle carriers and hopefully Change pads.
Cream: for the slings: Neither of my sisters got to use a sling with their other kids, and I loved mine so much, I figured I will make them each one, if they don’t like it, it’s ok cause it was a gift :).

Blue: I picked up a little bit of stripes in some boyish colours, just in case the u/s technician was wrong 😉

Nothing like a little bit of fabric to make me sew happy!
