Other things I've been sewing...

Skirts! Or trying to anyway. I have a nice freind that asked me to make her a long skirt a couple months ago. So I made two, because the first of my creations are always rough! These are pictures of the first one I made.

And then for Christmas I wanted to make the girls bubble skirts from some cute fabric I got at a good price. And i ended up making Cal a tie to match! : ) So fun! Not flawless, but still cute!

I have been working!! I promise! Just slowly....we are going on 7 1/2 weeks without our daddy around here. And as we approach our date of departure from Springfield (two weeks!) I am running out of ways to get things done with the kids around. So I found a nice little television free in home day care to take the girls to. Just a few hours a day, a few days a week for the next two weeks. I'm doing this in hopes that I can get some sewing and organizing done before we leave without ignoring my girls or putting them in front of a movie. Although, it was hard to say goodbye to them this morning. Especially little Bryse, who has never gone to a consistant child care facility. Church nursery and the Y hardly count for that! She's only there for about an hour! Oh well, she did fine. Anyway, so here are the latest!

Below is a custom burp cloth I made for a friend the other day. It matches her mei tai that I made too.
Just finished these two this morning while Cal slept! The one on the left is a new fabric.

This is an old picture that I forgot to post. I made two mei tais like this for a friend that purchased them. Everything that is in the picture is what I include. Except, I didn't put the mesh bag in this pic for some reason....mmm....

For Us!!

So below are some pictures of my most rescent "selfish sewing"! Cal (my little man)'s new mei tai. Everytime i put him in my old one his big sister Bryse (two years old) got mad. "That's my mei tai!!" And ofcourse she would share, but I had a hankerin' for a new one anyway! ; ) And then the hair clip organizer i made for my girls. You'll notice we have quite the collection of Ribbies Hair Clippies! We're big fans! www.ribbiesclippies.com

Latest stuff...

I have a sweet friend that is expecting her third little girl NEXT WEEK!! How exciting! Anyway, she has twin two year old girls too, so she hit me up for a mei tai and bought her own fabric. I used the extra fabric I had left over to make her custom burp cloths and a hair clip organizer (I've been experimenting with these, made one for my girls too).

Details on the "others"!

Custom Burp Cloths:

I love to make these as gifts for girlfriends! Their so cute! One custom burp cloth, with the name on it runs $10. But I can also make a second burp cloth using the same fabric from the name to do a middle panal on it. And then it would be two for $15. I'll post a picture soon of a set of burp cloths. Current fabrics available are:

The Cloth Wipes:

I use these with my own little man. They are recycled flannel from recieving blankets and the reverse side is recycled terry from baby towels. Waste not, want not!! ; ) They are approximatly 7 x 7 inches. One easily cleans up a descently poopy bottom! I sell them 3 cloths for $5. Or 7 cloths for $10. Right now, in stock I have these colors. Otherwise, if your interested, you could comment and tell me what colors you would like, and I would work on some in those colors:

Car Craft Kit:

I have these for my girls too. There are eight seperate sleeves for crayons and one for a pad of paper. I can include crayons and paper too. These run around $12.
