Yo-yo Wreath

I saw this wreath on Samster Mommy,

and after discovering that rosettes were hard for me,

I decided to make a Y0-yo wreath.

Maybe the rosettes would have been easier.

The yo-yo's took a long, long time.

But I do like the finished product.

Baby Gifts

Made these as gifts for some new babies
(along with some onesies).
I didn't have a lot of thick ribbon,
so I used 1 1/2 inch strips or fabric on three of them.

T-Shirt Dress

My Mom made cute t-shirt dresses for Ruby

and her girl cousins last summer.

Ruby still really likes the dress, but she has
grown enough that the skirt was too short,
and she refused to wear leggings or pants
underneath it. I decided to add a little
fabric to the skirt so she could keep wearing
the dress. Ruby told me she wanted it "longer longer"
so I ended up adding a few rows of fabric.
I had some ribbon that matched, so we added that, too.

Bandana Skirt #2

I made this skirt based on V an Co's tutorial,

and using a bandana Mindy bought for me,

along with some extra polkadot fabric.

I had trouble with the elastic on this one,

but the good news is that Ruby will actually wear it.

The Glider - Recovered Part 2

I finally got around to buying a staple gun so that

I could recover the glider's footstool.

Greg and John took turns helping me.
Here's the before:

and the after:

And here's the completed package.

The Glider - Recovered

We're looking at furniture for our living room,

and decided to just keep our glider and try to recover it.
I got a great deal on this fabric at JoAnns.

Here are the before and after shots.

Max seems to be the most sentimental of our kids,
(he's like me), but he's okay with the change,
so hopefully everyone else will be, too.
