two months old!




prince henry is two months old today. it was a struggle to find a good time today to get his #2 pictures (thanks again micaela for the collection of cute shirts!). he's very congested right now, and had shots in his legs which made him miserable today. otherwise he is a happy little boy! and growing oh so quickly -- much to his mother's chagrin. today he weighed in at 12 lbs. 15 oz.

signs of spring


signs of spring: tuning up the bikes...digging in the dirt...walking home from the fish fry...riding bikes...daffodils blooming



sewing for the boys




for a year now i have been sewing the cutest little skirts for my princess. the lazy days skirt was a simple starting project for this sewing newbie. i made several skirts...for summer, for halloween, st. patrick's day, easter, and more! but i decided it was time for a project for my boys. i found this super easy (and free!) pattern to make a "car cozie", and made 3 of them in a week! the creator of this pattern will gladly make you a kit if you contact her on etsy (which i did). i think these car cozies are perfect to take along to places where little boys need a quiet distraction (church, restaurants, etc).
there are so many crafters on the world wide web sharing their ideas and creations...it's a wonderful place to explore for new ideas! and when i stumble upon these cool ideas i will in turn share them with my crafting friends!
