Look what I made for my SIL! Super L calls it a diaper purse. It's not perfect, as you can see, the closure is way off center, but it is my first one. I don't know what I did wrong there, but... I already had the snaps on when I discovered the mistake. Oh well, once she puts diapers and wipes in it no one is really going to notice anyway. Right??! They'll be to busy looking at her cute baby.

I think she'll like it. She mentioned the last time I saw her that everyone with a baby seemed to have one and she really wanted one. (It's way better than the lame toy we gave her baby, because I didn't know what she wanted or needed, and I was paralyzed with not knowing.) I hope she likes the fabric, when I asked what colors she wanted I'm pretty sure she said she didn't care she just wanted one. I hope that's true!

My second hope is that she didn't break out her machine to try making one herself! Ah, who am I kidding? She has two young children and a baby!!! Hmmm....Nahhh

I'm going to have Super Dad send it this afternoon.

It was fairly easy to make. I made a boxy bottom, but I think next time I'll do it flat, like the bottom on a grocery bag. I may also change the closure but...I can fool around with that later. I have a bunch of baby showers coming up, I usually do burp cloths(It's surprising how hard it is to find good burp cloths!), but I think this might be my new baby shower gift. Fast, easy and very little fabric! This is a great thing to make if you've left everything to the last minute, like I seem to do, and need to scour your stash!

Dinomite


Here's Super J's birthday cake. I've made better cakes, but this was one of those kind of days. You know the kind of day where every time you turn around somebody is into something. Needless to say, I spent much of the day cleaning lots of somethings up.

Super J's birthday!


Here's a picture of the big boy on his birthday. We celebrated his birthday the night before. His big sister feed him cake for breakfast. And just where was I? I was in bed thinking, " Ohhh, so early...just 3 more min." Yep... three min. later and my two youngest had fed themselves cake for breakfast.

Happy Easter Everyone!


Happy Easter! As always, it's raining today. I can't remember the last time the sun shone on Easter. I didn't mean to complain, I really wanted to show you the dress I made Super L. I've been working on it off and on for three weeks. THREE WEEKS!!! I guess I've been working off it more than on it. Ha Ha

It's from an Ottobre a couple of years ago. I wanted to make the little pinafore to go with it, but just didn't get a chance. Hence the little fabric flower. Something that pink really needs something, anything to break up the pink. The picture doesn't really do the dress justice It's much cuter in person.

What do you think?

SICK!

We have been sick all week. I'm a get it done with all at once kind of person, so it is killing me that everyone is having there own personal day of being sick!

I would post pictures but some little monkey has run off with the camera and I'm currently trying to find it!

It's still raining!



The title says it all! So, how about some pictures from last summer?

Or last fall?


Or while playing Hide and Go Seek? (As in where's your brother? Has anyone seen Super J? Super J where are you??)


I hope the sun returns soon!

The end of January brought Super S' last derby race. His car is the one in the back. It's super thin, has two small fins and one gold fin on the back and a gold cockpit. This baby was built for good looks and not necessarily built for speed. Even so, it came in second in most of the races.

We are so lucky that we have three more years of derby racing!! Just as Super S graduates from cub scouts, Super A will be slipping in right behind. I LOVE DERBY NIGHT!!!!
