Why is it everyone is having a baby at the same time?? Is it something in the water?? LOL! I have been working on some baby items for a few new arrivals and a few not arrived yet. One of them being my next granddaughter! Yep...I'm gonna be a Meme...again sometime late July. I took some pictures of the things I've been working on...
This is a crinkle toy with some extras and a different shape. Next....
a couple of bibs! And...
cute little burb clothes! Here is the set I'm sending out...
One set I have to get out into the mail ASAP! I also made a few Diaper Clutches...
This one is made from jean material!
With a changing pad included!
This was the second one I made. These are from placemats...you heard me right! They were very easy to make, but on this one I made the velcro a little longer to accomodate more stuff.
Ya'll know how thick diapers can be right?!
I've also been working on my own personal sewing label. I got the idea from here and I thought to myself...I can do this! Well at first I remembered I have a BOX full of rubber stamps and tried doing it that way first. They turned out cute if you look at the above pictures you'll see them. But they fade after just one wash so back to the drawing board. Now I am not intimidated at all by computers or software, it's just finding the uninterruped time to work on stuff. It took me a few days but I think I got it!

It's simple and to the point. What do ya'll think?
Check out our new lawn mowers...
HAHAHA! That is Beau and Ali taking care of the over grown grass in our back yard! I am a total believer in recycle/upcycle. They did a very good job! If you look way in the back you can see Carlos' latest project...relocation of the pig pen.
Pictures of my latest shopping spree...
I got all of these mason jars, a Downey ball and two of these giant plastic containers...all for $.25 each! I'm thinking of using the short ones for lemon-sugar facial scrub as gifts for Christmas! Plus...
These buckle clips and nylon(future backpack), elastic, fabric crayons(never tried these), old metal hoops(just because), and an Oreck clothing shaver(electric)! Plus...
Two pairs of flip flops and loafers(half price). Plus...
This gerogous scarf(thinking of using as a table runner), head scarf(for me) and leather purse organizer at $.25 each! Plus...
Two pairs of winter slippers(half price)!! I'm so tired of my feet freezing out here in the winter time!
Not pictured here were two pairs of golfing shorts for Carlos ($.25 each), a pair of jeans for me($.25), two pairs of pants I'm going to make into purses($.25 each), a t-shirt for Michael($.75), and various toys for the kids. Total price you ask?? $24.12 including tax!! It wasn't even half price day yet...I'm so proud of myself! Go T...go T...go T...LOL!
I'm getting things ready for a ROAD TRIP tomorrow. We are packing up the Family Circus and heading way over to the East coast of Florida, Daytona Beach!! A wonderful 3 hour drive with Curly, Larry and Mo! My daughter is getting married on the beach...this is going to be such an adventure! I will take lots of pictures to post later. I need to get some rest!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter weekend from The Family Circus!!
