First Trip to the Zoo

Trying to get caught up on Munch's scrapbook before his birthday. Which is next month!! I can't believe it's September already!!

Background is from Mommy Scraps - Safari Kit.

On another note I seem to have lost an almost completed project I had going for Munch's birthday. I'm so upset!! I'm sure it will turn up somewhere, I'm just hoping it will be before his birthday. Need to find a good overall pattern for him too. Munch has already grown out of the one I had originally bought...what happened to my tiny baby?

Huge Fabric Blocks for Lyndon

I decided that I need to really start working on my craft to-do list before it gets any longer. So between boxes that's what I've been doing. These blocks have been on the list for a while now and I finally got around to finishing them. Each has two bells inside so they make a soft bell noise when shaken. I made them much larger than I originally intended, but Munch seems to like them.

They also make excellent teething toys!!

Baby Ts and Yellow Blossoms

While Munch was munching on snacks I got out a free iron-on that was on a box of Honey Nut Cheerios and put my iron to work.

They didn't come out to bad, but let me say that using a cardboard iron-on is a major pain.

When John got home I FINALLY got to finish a skirt I've been working on. It's pretty simple, but I'm proud. :o)

It's excellent for playing tug-of-war with Kaiser.

Found Craft: Cherry Shorts

I made these shorts when I first got my sewing machine. I just took apart a tight pair I had and added the cherry fabric, so nothing fancy. I found them while I was going through my clothes last week. I was actually surprised I could fit in them again!

I forgot how super comfy they are...I might have to make some more.

Found Craft: "Flopsy"

I haven't had much time to do anything crafty lately. I've been very busy packing, painting and going through boxes. The perk of going through boxes is that you never know what treasures you'll find. We found this doll at my mother's (soon to be our) house. We can't remember her name...so I'm calling her Flopsy...since that is what she is.

I knit her for my sister when I was 13 or 14. I had just learned to knit and found the pattern for her in a kids craft book. (Which I also hope to locate.) The stitches are to lose and she probably could have used a little more stuffing...but she was made with lots of love.

I gave her to Arianna during a Christmas we spent in England. Arianna didn't think that she would be warm enough with the clothes I made her....so my Grandmama made her a cute poncho and gloves.

And here is the rest of her wardrobe. The gray "skirt" she's wearing in the first picture is actually a dress and the vests I made go over that. I can't wait to see what other goodies I find.
