Bib Project



I have recently taken a little time for some handiwork. I love to craft and sew but do not have much time for such amusements. I did carve out a little time recently and was really happy with these bibs for Lilly Faith. They are pretty simple to make. I just used a bib that she already had for an outline when cutting them out. They wash up really nicely too.

Sugar Creek Gang




My kiddos love to hear the kid's programs that come on our christian radio station every afternoon at 4:00. Some of their favorites are the Sugar Creek Gang and Jonathon Parks. In the picture you can see that they have made their own Sugar Creek Gang characters out of perler beads. I am proud of their creativity and hard work.

Homemade Burp Cloth

I love seeing all the cute crafts many bloggers post on their blogs. I do not think I have ever posted any of my own handiwork. I think that is because I never do crafty things anymore. :( I LOVED crafts when I was young with time on my hands. However, the last few years have not been the season for this sort of thing for me. Well, I'm hoping that will change a little as my oldest daughter, Lauren, is now at an age where she is showing lots of interest in homemaking skills, sewing, crafts, etc. So, recently I found a little white table at the Goodwill store and brought out the sewing machine again. I thought if it is out it will be easier to get to, and we will be more prone to try some small projects. This week I did put my hand to a very small project, and I am so happy that I actually accomplished something. :) There is a baby shower for a mommy in our church, and I decided to fancy up a burp cloth. Here is a picture of the finished product, and below you can see the supplies I used to make it. I bought the cloth at Hancock's for $1.99. It was a little square, and I feel sure there is enough left to make two more of these little cloths. I also bought some other squares of fun prints for some more baby gifts. Also, while I am at it I will have to make a few for our own new baby due in July. :)
