I love getting packages in the mail!

On a message board I belong to, we occasionally do some sort of sewing swap. This time we were to send a baggie full of scraps to our partner and she would sew something out of it and send it back. I am so excited to have mine. Aren't they cute?

New diapers!

Our prefolds, that we bought over 5 years ago, and used on 3 kids already, are starting to show some wear. I decided to use some stash fabric and make some "Quick Snap Flat Wrap" diapers. I don't have a snap press, so I figured we'd just pin them. I like pins anyway. You can find the pattern here.

Here's a few pictures of mine.

Update on klean kanteen pattern

Hello

I'm back. After a looooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg time. LOL. I have been so busy lately. We moved! I'm still in unpacking mode and haven't been able to sew anything. While waiting for 2 weeks for our things to arrive(stupid moving company) I croched a bath mat and a hat for Thunder to wear this winter.

Anyway, I'll hopefully be back shortly to post more of my crafts. If anyone is interested that is.

Christmas crafts

This Christmas I decided we were going to do handmade gifts for the family. I made them all "gifts in a jar" from this site http://www.allfreecrafts.com/giftinajar/index.shtml There are some great recipies there. You can find a great tutorial on how to make a pretty jar topper here... http://www.achristianhome.org/Homemaking/sew_a_jar_topper.htm

I have to say that I've really enjoyed making them. I hope that the family enjoys recieving them.
