I made this tag blanket and animals yesterday and it turned out pretty cute. I finished it last night and gave it to AJ when he woke up this morning and he thought it was great. He loves things with tags on them, so I think he will have fun with this blanket.
Now every time I bring out the camera, AJ smiles. I love that! No more scowling at the camera.
We had a wonderful Easter spending it with my side of the family. The Easter bunny hid Easter baskets for Aaron and Andrew this morning. They had a good time finding them and seemed to enjoy playing with their new toys.
Aaron brought me flowers on Friday.
We went out to my parents house and spent the day with them. We watched conference and dyed Easter eggs and had a wonderful dinner.
My brother discovered the joy of shrink wrappers for Easter eggs and had a good time. We thought this would be the perfect size dumbbell for Andrew.
My mom always makes bunny rolls for Easter. Yummy!
I made Andrew an Easter bunny onesie to wear for today. It turned out pretty cute.
We played and Andrew, dad and uncle Tyler had a good time building towers and knocking them over.
Andrew even read books with Grandpa.
I made my first trifle for dessert. It was a strawberry orange cream trifle. It was pretty tasty.
Lately I have been feeling crafty. I think it is because of the new sewing machine I got for my birthday. These are some the crafts I have been making.
One of our friends is having a baby very soon. She is having a little boy, so I made her some boy burp cloths.
I saw this cute pattern for a clutch and I thought how cute is that?! It will be great to hold my wallet and keys and small stuff for Andrew (like a binky), instead of carrying it all. I can just throw it in the diaper bag and keep all my stuff separate from Andrew’s stuff. It will be nice for when we just have to run into a store and don’t need the whole diaper bag. Or when just I go out and I don’t have to transfer to another purse. I did make the mistake of following the pattern and not measuring my wallet, so I had to downsize to a smaller wallet, since my regular wallet took up the whole bag. I will see how this one goes or I may make a bigger one. Here is the link for the pattern if anyone is interested: http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/03/scrappy-clutch.html
I have been looking for ideas for a little something for the kitchen area. I watch the show Cougar Town (the one with Courtney Cox. I think it is my inner “Friends” trying to get out.) every now and then and I saw this in her kitchen and I thought “that’s fun.” So I made one. I am waiting for Aaron to hang it on the wall, since he is the official picture hanger (or else there would be a lot of holes hiding under the picture).
I have also been making bundles of cards and quiet books for presents. I am going to be sad when I loose my craft room and kids take over the house. I try to not to think so far ahead and enjoy it while I can.
