Diaper Stacker for my little one

I mentioned in my last post that I had made up a diaper stacker while my Mom was visiting as well. Here is a photo of it.





This was made using the Simplicity nursery pattern #9140 with a few modifications. I cut the top a little different for the piece underneath the cover and added the cute brown with pink polka dots ribbon as I just love this stuff and it goes so well with the pink and brown theme.

I still plan to add something to the center of the top as I feel it is a little plain. Not sure what I will add yet. Might do a quick embroidery design or applique something on it?

I was really suprised at how fast it went together (well if you do not count the times I had to take a break to hold my sweet little bundle of joy. :) she is not so keen on the idea of Mom sewing and not paying attention to her. hee hee).

Ok until we meet again,

The last few weeks.....

So it has been a while now hasn't it......... Really only about three weeks but whos counting?? LOL

My Mom came to visit and we did a little stitching while she was here, an apron was made a diaper stacker and lots of fabric was oogled and bought during the many fabric trips that we made. hee hee I will have to get some photos of them and post them soon.

The kiddos also got a chance to go up in an airplane, our local Young Eagles group had a day where they take the local kids up for a ride around the area. My 8 year old was all strapped in and at the last minute decided that it just was not for her (which is really a suprise since she is the fearless one) but the other two older ones loved it and could not quit talking about it for the rest of the day. They got to ride in a Beechcraft Baron. Thanks to the wonderful flight instructors that donated their time to get the kiddos interested in flying.

While my Mom was here we just had to take a trip to the local thrift store as well.... well here are my thrift store finds a curtain with a pretty ruffle (I have a plan for this and if all goes well will be posting the after photos soon) and two chunks of some really pretty pink, brown and green double sided quilted fabric. They are two small pieces but hey I can certainly come up with something to do with these as well. :)

Here is a photo of the little one Sleeping like a baby. :) Isn't she just the cutest. :)

Another thing while my Dear Mom was here a friend of hers talked her into making a Grandmothers Flower Garden Quilt, my 10 and 8 year old daughters fell in love with the idea and sat with Grandma and stitched a few hexagons for her. So now they have decided that they would like to start one of their own, lol. So I can see myself cutting hexagons out for a bit, but hey I kind of think I might want to start one as well....

Until next time,

My Mom :)

I have been sitting here thinking about my Mom, she is coming to visit for almost a month starting next week and the kiddos and I are so excited. I really wish she lived closer but since she does not it is nice to have her visit for a month each summer.

So my Mom made a quilt for me when I was preggo. Was so sweet of her, I called her up while sitting in a blood lab waiting for the next round of tests that I had to remain in the waiting room for a certain time period. I was looking through a magazine and saw this pink nursery setup and decided right there I really wanted to do the crib in Pinks and Browns (which for me is funny since I have never been fond of the color Pink). So I drew up an idea, emailed it to Mom and sent her the fabrics I wanted to use and this is what she created. I love it.....

She also made me a diaper bag since I was not into any of the other commercial style bags out there. And this one is perfect since I will be able to use it a purse long after she has grown beyond the diaper bag needing age. :)

She just started blogging as well you can check out her page http://ncfabricjunkie.blogspot.com/

So thank you Mom you are the best. :)

Ok off to find something fun for the munchkins to do and get some work done. :)
