This one's for you, Mom.

My I Spy quilt is done!!

Wow.  I'm done- excuse me while I have a moment of catharsis.  I love this poofy quilt/comforter SO MUCH!  It's like and inch and a half thick- hard to sew, but so worth it!
When Eddie finally moves to a big boy bed once we have another baby, this will totally be his comforter.

Upcycling a blanket...

I made one of our baby blankets into a new sleep sack for Eddie, since his is too small now and the one I got to replace it with is WAY too big.

First, here's the blanket.

There's orange yarn sewn around the edges, which I took off.

Then I folded it hot dog style and placed the zipper...

Then I cut arm holes...

Then I sewed the zipper on, sewed the shoulder together, and the bottom together, and re-tied the yarn around the arm and neck holes...

And then I put a baby in it...

(He was very confused by the camera's flash.)

 And very curious about what the shiny, flashing thing was, and came closer to investigate.

Ain't he the cutest?  

And that's how I turned a blanket into a wearable blanket that he can't get stuck under or kick off for the cost of a $2 zipper.

TA DA!

My handsome boys

Seriously.  You can't get any cuter or handsomer than that.  And if you think you can, your pants might be on fire.

 He was so wiggley and laughey it was so cute!

I upcycled!

I made a braided scarf today in like an hour out of two old knit t-shirts that had gotten all stretched out and baggy.  It was fun!  I was going to take them to DI, but then I didn't and upcycled them instead.

Ice Cream!

Greg made this cookie dough ice cream with an ice cream maker we got at DI last night for eight dollars.  It is sugar-free ice cream, so I can eat it!!!  It tastes REALLY good- like that "slow-churned" stuff you can buy at the grocery store for like five dollars.
