Saturday Morning Fun

It is so nice to have the whole day with Jeff. He has been working 12 to13 hour shifts all week long and it has been a long week for me getting everything ready for Zander's delivery on Monday. This morning Jeff set up the new CD player and then the boys had some fun with the box.






Also I don't know what I was thinking starting a few sewing projects last week. I am in no way a seamstress, I like to sew occasionally. Then once I start a project I remember why I don't sew all that often. My creations turn out okay most of the time, but it is those times when they don't that a lot of time passes between projects.
Well I thought it would be fun to sew a blanket for Zander (in addition to making the Halloween costumes for me and Jeff). I found a cute design on-line to make a patchwork quilt type blanket. Once I started cutting the squares I realized that I should have done at least 8" squares instead of 4" ones. So the end result was 80 squares and hours of work.

I also made a few burp cloths for Zander I thought I would share. These are way easier to do and turn out really cute.

You are so creative! Those are so adorable!! I just love the burp cloths you made for Ethan... I'm almost too scared to use them because they're so cute!

I like your blanket and burp clothes. They turned out super cute.
I love the pictures of your boys in the box, they look like they are having tons of fun.
