Glimpse of Spring!

Every week there seems to be a day where spring weather teases us with warm weather and sunshine. The kids and I try and take advantage of it with walks, bikes, and outside play. I try and air out the house too. Then the next thing we know, we are waking up to snow.



A new project....

My cousin is having a baby a month after me and I was trying to think what to get her. I wanted to make her something, but my sewing skills are not something to brag about.  I was surfing the blog network and found a simple (I mean really simple) pattern for a car seat canopy and thought now that is something that I can do. I was all excited and picked out the material. Then I started the project and thought what did I get myself into! Threading the machine and bobbin is enough to try one's patience.  Not to mention to remember how to sew. This is why I have a million started projects and never finish them. I ended up finishing this one and it really wasn't as bad as I thought. Hey and by the end of it all, I learned how to sew a nice line! Who knows maybe baby number three will get something homemade from me. It might be next year though. :)
