The best burp cloths since cloth diapers

These things are great and so absorbant! These cloths are oversized, double-sided with flannel and an extra absorbant filler in between. This is one item I do keep an inventory. Get a set of 3 for $8 or 1 for $3.

Happy Halloween!

This is a little late, but my camera died on Halloween, fitting isn't it? I had to wait until I got the pictures from my friend.

Here's just a cute idea I took to our neighborhood Halloween party. They are called "Ghost on a Broom." I saw someone make them on tv 3 or 4 years ago and wrote down the idea with hopes that someday I'd have something to make them for, and sure enough, I finally did. All you do is cut and fringe a little strip of fruit roll-up and wrap it around the end of pretzel. Then pour some melted white chocolate over the pretzel to look like a ghost. Add some chocolate chips for eyes, and let them cool. They were such a hit! Not only are they cute, but they are surprisingly delicious as well. You'd never guess fruit roll-ups would go so well with chocolate and pretzels, would you? In the words of my husband, "You have to shove the whole thing in your mouth to mix all the flavors." Yummy!

Halloween Costumes

And just to show off my cute kids...today was the first chance to get all decked out in their

costumes. Actually, they'll be more decked out for Halloween, but this was pretty close. Sorry I couldn't get better pictures. It's a killer trying to get them to hold still, but anyway, introducing ...

Peter Pan

and Tinkerbell!

The Peter Pan costume was a piece of cake. Tinkerbell, on the other hand, well, let's just say I'd better have another girl because I'll be furious if I put all that work into a costume that only gets worn one year.

Even Cuter!

I've been so busy with sewing and vinyl lately, and I LOVE IT!! Thank you to all of you! As I have more time to sew, it gives me more time to experiment, so B, here is your first car seat cover. I've added bows instead of just buttons. I hope you love it like I do! And more projects are to come, so stay tuned.

And here's your second.

Pillow Cases

So, I've started teaching mini sewing classes to my Relief Society group. Last week was our first class and we made pillow cases. One of the ladies brought the cutest Halloween fabric and told us about her family tradition growing up where her mom made each of the kids a pillow case for each holiday. Then sometime as that holiday approached she would sneak those pillow cases onto each of their pillows so as they went to bed that night and pulled down the covers they would be so excited to find their pillow cases. I couldn't pass up this opportunity to start a new tradition that involved my getting to sew! So here are my kids new Halloween pillow cases that they got surprised with just tonight.

Car Seat Covers

100% cotton with velcro or tie straps. $25 or $15 if you provide the fabric (2 fabrics, 1 yd of each).

Nursing Covers

My nursing covers are adjustable, reversible, and lightweight, from 100% cotton fabric, and include the boning to shape the top so you can see your baby while others can't. Straps are either made from fabric or matching ribbon. Covers are $20 ($15 if you provide the fabric, 2 fabrics - 3/4yd of each ).

"Every boy [and girl] needs a cape"

A couple years ago my mother-in-law came to me and asked me to make a reversible CTR cape for her to use in role plays in her Primary class. I bought the stuff for it right away, but for some reason never got around to making it until today. When my 2 1/2-year-old came to me with his dad's tie and said "I a hero!" and took off flying, I remembered what my husband had always told me "Every boy needs a cape." I immediately went downstairs and got busy. First I made a plane blue and black cape for my boy, then I made the one my mother-in-law asked for (she doesn't even teach Primary anymore, but I guess the grandkids can play with it), and I have one left to make for my little girl.

Here's the cape -- both sides.


It's 100% cotton fabric, the symbols are felt and sewn on, and the cape attaches around the neck with velcro. Plain capes are $10 ($5 if you provide the fabric, 1yd of 1 or 2 fabrics). Symbols are an additional $5 per side and can be custom made/designed. I plan to put a "B" on my son's cape. Email or call me with questions/orders.
