What We've Been Up To

Logan wanted to sleep on the floor a couple of nights and it reminded me that we had this giraffe tent. (It has a long giraffe neck and head that you can't see in the picture) So I dug it out of the garage and set it up one day. They've been sleeping in there every night for over a week. Justin and I are wondering why we spent all that money on bunk beds and mattresses?? They love this thing.and don't they look like cute little buddies sleeping in there?

I have been sewing. I've started sewing a lot more in the past year or so. I'm not that good and I don't even know what all the dials on my basic machine are for and I hate buying and following an actual pattern, but I like sewing simple things that I make up myself or can be explained in a few steps on a crafty blog. Like these superhero capes:

Logan & Tolan had been asking us to tie their blankies around their necks, but they are a bit too bulky so I made these.
They stay on better and look cooler than a blanket anyway.

Here's the link if you have superhero wannabes at your house too.

I've also been sewing a lot of baby stuff too. I made this baby sling from a crafty blog as well. I'm not sure how I'll be grocery shopping with 3 kids since Logan isn't in school yet and Tolan still needs to ride in the cart for me to maintain some level of sanity. So I figure I'll at least need to use this at the grocery store. I've never used a sling, so hopefully I will like it.

I've also been making burp cloths. I used the Gerber prefold diapers. I'm not really a fan of the birdseye weave or whatever it is, but that's all that I could find. Then I washed, ironed and embellished them with fabric and ribbon scraps.

These last ones are appliqued. No close-ups b/c they aren't that good, but they look alright from far away.
