Placemat


I tackled making a placemat for my little fellow to take in his lunch box. I got ideas from the Lotta Jansdoters Simple Sewing book and from a blog from Mon Ami's Sew mama sew giveaway day in May. It is in use now for 3 days and seems to be working out.

Remembering...



Saw this awesome idea about keeping up with those really wonderful conversations and "words" that children say. The post was at Pigeon Pair blog. My son is amazing how he can come up with a whole adventure combining his first science fair project with playmobil and lego things! Thinking about keeping photos tucked in with sayings too.





Some of my recent favorites...


While eating some chicken noodle soup last week My son looked up and said "I Love Chicken. Umm Mom Does Chicken really come from ... You know Chicken as in "... and he flapped his arms. When I nodded my head trying not to laugh, he then said "But not the ones on the farm right?"

Another one was "Mom are you Dadisfied?"

Music Book Tote


























I made this Tote Bag from a pattern in the gorgeous book Simple Sewing. I saw this book mentioned on Mon Ami's blog and checked it out to attempt the placemat. I got sidetracked with the Tote Bag. The bear and music notes I had made several years ago for a quilt that never got done. The pattern for these are from Paper Panache. Now my little boy is already six so realized maybe this could be a tote bag for his piano books.

Fabric Basket

I made one of Pink Penguins Fabric Baskets the other weekend. My son has it on his nightstand to put in lego pieces, playmobil men, or whatever else is interesting that day. This was a fun project to make.

Little Oven Mitt


I really enjoyed all the inspiration from Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. This Sunday, I sewed up a little oven mitt from the pattern posted at My Longest Year . My little man kept bugging me about what I was making so I did not even sew in the tag to get it done to stop the pestering. He loved this oven mitt. Anyhow, great tutorial and I plan on making more!
This is our last week of Kindergarden. I volunteered for the water park field trip...Hope I survive.
