My Boys Monday

Nothing from me this week...except for the terrifying knowledge that Christmas is only two months away...and I'm already feeling disorganized and completely unprepared! Lots of presents to make...and very little time. Here are a couple things I would like to complete for the boys. I would love to make Munch this cozy car caddy from homemade by jill. She has lots of cute ideas on her site, including a car mat. Christmas next year, perhaps?

I love this car pillow by Noodlehead. Wouldn't it be perfect for Baby Nox? Maybe I'll add something that krinkles or a bell for added baby fun.

Any creative plans on your Christmas List? I would love to hear them!!

Activity Bag for Mama's Little Pirate

Munch celebrated his 2nd birthday last week and since we planned a pirate themed party for him I decided to make a couple pirate themed gifts.

First up I decided to make him an activity bag. Munch always seems to need something to do when we go out...especially when we decide to brave a restaurant. I got this pattern from One Yard Wonders. It's really the first pattern I've made from the book, which is pretty sad considering I've had the book for a year. I love all the patterns and have several on my to do list. However my list is about a mile long!

Then I made a cute crayon roll. Complete with Toy Story crayons...we've only lost one so far :o)

Of course I had to add a couple coloring books too!!

And it's a hit!! As long as he's got his activity bag, Sonic sunglasses and Mama's keys he's good to go!

Scrappy Saturday

I've slowly been getting better at finding time to do craft stuff. Very slowly, but it's happening :o)

3 Day Basket Collab with Crandallation

As I have mentioned previously my little sister is participating in the 3 Day Walk for the Cure. I'm SO super proud of her.

In hopes of raising a little money for the cause my best bud Alisha and I did a little collaboration and put together a girly gift basket. It will be sold at The Enchanted Artist and proceeds will go to The Pink Galas for 3 Day Walk for the Cure.

My additions are a bib, tag blanket, brag book and set of three burp cloths.

Here is the completed basket! To see a list of Crandallation's items check out her blog!
I want to thank every person walking for this cause and everyone who has made a contribution to help find a cure!!

Foto Friday - Look What I Can Make

Just thought I would add a quick post while I have a sleeping newborn and a behaving 23 month old. On August 30th I went into labor and had this little bundle. It was a super fast labor...I was in the hospital a short 4 hours before I delivered. My nurse had me breath through some of the last contractions just so my Dr. would make it to my room in time for the birth....My mother made it into the room on the last push!

I made him this cocoon for him from a knitting circle contraption I found in a stash of stuff from my aunt and the other day we had a little photo shoot.

And it took me almost 3 weeks but I finally finished the first page in Nox's baby scrapbook.
