FABRIC PRODUCE BAG



This is a cute little bag! The pattern said it was a produce bag but I think you could use it for other stuff. Maybe a gift bag...? I've seen lots of blogs where people are making cloth gift bags. You reuse them over and over. Just think, if it gets dirty you can wash it and reuse it unlike a paper gift bag. I might have to find a good pattern and do that for next Christmas.

BABY E WATCHING ME


He sat and watched me yesterday as I worked on his quilt. He did really good. Sorry, you can't see his face. I will never post a full face pic of my kids on my blog. That is something I am not at all comfortable with.

PIECED TOGETHER


Finished piecing together the quilt for Eli today. I think I might put a boarder around the edge before I go any further on it. The blue chenille I decided against. The blue just didn't go with the other blues.

IN THE MAIL......



to Holly for baby Leeland. I found someone to make these for Eli but he can't wear them; so sad because I just love them! I am just happy that I knew someone that would love them too. Enjoy Leeland!!!

BABY QUILT





Today I decided to start a baby quilt for Eli. I still need to cut out the blue chenille squares. I have 2 chenille bedspreads of my grandma's that I might cut into squares also. Hopefully, I can have this quilt done in 2-3 weeks!

RECYCLE


Jarrett came home yesterday with 2 big black trash cans for my recyclables. Right now I only recycle paper and plastic. I decided in order for the kiddos to help out they must be labeled. (Yay, quick craft project!) So I whipped out some vinyl and got busy cutting out letters with my Cricut. Drew was lots of help, he supervised!

SNOW.........



The boys LOVE the snow. That is all I heard from the time their feet hit the floor; until their heads hit the pillow... for two days. They are both very sad that it is melting. It was the first time Eli saw snow; he really didn't care. I did take some pictures for his scrapbook though. Hopefully, I can start his soon.
