I'm on a roll!

I'm pretty proud to announce that I have done THREE different projects now with my sewing machine. It's weird because before I even finish something I am already thinking about what I want to make next. In fact I've started a list on my blog of things I plan on making someday. Again, don't laugh, most of the things I attempt are probably things you all did in Home Ec or something...but I never took that class, so give me a break! :)

Onto the projects-
"Crib Rail Cover"

Norah is getting pretty wild with her standing and will chew on anything she can get her two little teeth on. Yes, I am aware that you can buy crib rail covers at several stores, but they retail for WAY too much money. It took me more time than it should have, but I was able to make some covers for half the price. I found a great tutorial here. I made them for all three sides, but took pictures as soon as I finished the one because I didn't know how motivated I would be to finish all three. Finally finished them all this last week.


I also made one of these baby blocks. This wasn't really that hard, but I was kinda bummed when Norah only held it for about 30 seconds and then dropped it and crawled away. I've since tried to get her to play with it more, but she doesn't really care for it.

Oh well, next on my list, this cute "owl teether". Norah is nuts about crinkly noises. I hope this one is a hit :)

*Update* I started the owl teether today....this one is going to be tough!

DELIGHTFUL day

I celebrated my first day of 27 by sleeping in! Ben was sweet and got up to feed Norah so I could relax a bit longer. We spent the morning making a birthday cake, playing with our cute baby, and just kickin' it in our pj's.

We ventured downtown to the Olive Garden later for lunch and then took a walk around the riverfront as Norah slept cozily in the stroller.
Ben made me a yummy dinner of salmon and artichokes in the evening and we topped it off with cake, a movie, and a foot rub(it's a guilty pleasure of mine, and Ben does it so well!)
It was such a great day, and the best part, besides sharing the day with my two favorite people, was not having to change any diapers! Thank you Benjo! Happy 27 to ME :)
