Wee Butterfly and stuff

Another Wee Wonderful baby. Made from wool felt. Polka dots are Michael Miller. All machine sewn again except for attaching the head and butt to the body and the body to the wings.

Petunia? I can't remember what names Corinnea already used and I don't want to duplicate:) I call the girls Petunia so that's what came to mind. Loly? Just read a book with the name Loly in it.

Meet Annabel Christine. Heidi and Chris's new baby. Sister to Sienna. So sweet and soooo tiny!Heidi and Adrienne were due at the same time I think.

*colorized action by from pioneer woman

Just random photos of Ava. I got a new camera that I can carry in my purse at all times so there is going to be lots more photos of the girls:)

Cookies I made the other day. These things are addictive! They are cake-like with a very dark chocolate/bittersweet taste. And they look nothing like the ones on the box!

We went to Lego land yesterday (it was Star Wars Day) so I'll post about that soon and I'm soooo excited! I made something that I didn't think I could do but I can!! I can!! And you can too! You'll see..

Mushrooms, babies, fests and allergies!

A mushroom for Katelyn. She turned 20 I think. One of the most mature 20 year old (olds?sp?) I know. I LOVE working with you Katelyn:)The mushroom pattern is from here (it's free). It was SO easy. Made from 100% wool felt.

F.Y.I:
I believe that if I show a craft I've completed or started that I have the right to bore you with pictures from my life:)

Emily's on-going battle with allergies. Does everyone agree she looks like she's been smoking crack and this is what it did to her skin? You have to see it in person. Breakouts, rashes, dry scaly skin, puffy eyes with dark circles, runny nose. All signs of crack usage. She just needs a missing tooth and she's all set:)

*pioneer woman's Seventies action used

The Bad Cannstatter Volksfest. Or is it a Beer Fest?

the coolest ride ever! Not really but the scenery while on the ride is nice:)

Beer tents are not fun with 15 month old babies. Emily LOVED the rides. She went on several this year and no crying!

I spy..

An I spy bag. I made this using a kit from here. The kit was only the pellets, clear plastic, charms, and "answer Key". The owl design is just like the pillows I made a long time ago which are made from looking at an owl pillow on Etsy.

I put a clip on the side so I can clip it to the stroller or..something. Clips are always good:)

More photos from Easter. These are from the actual day. The girls baskets and and egg hunt with our friends, the Bakers.

Of course Emily shows crack in every shot! She doesn't mean to, it just happens.

Ava was " sweat'n " (sp?) Kaylee in this photo above. She was standing over her trying to bully Kaylee in to giving her the cup and straw. It was too funny!

The Easter bunny makes a house call. He rang the door bell and ran. The video is in 3 parts but I only uploaded the middle. SO you don't get to see all the cuteness:)

Wee Turtle and Egg Hunt

I finally made a turtle from the Wee Wonderful pattern! Corinnea has inspired me to make them all. Her butterfly friend will be finished in a day or two and the snail will follow.

She's made from wool felt and cotton. I completely (except for hand sewing the head to the body) machine sewed her. I HATE hand sewing. This pattern states on it that "Hand Sewing is Fun!" No it's not. The hand sewn ones may look better but I don't care! Hand sewing hurts my brain:)

If I had to hand sew her I would not have enjoyed making her and maybe would have given up.

Yesterday at Husky Field "hunting" eggs. Emily's eye was still puffed up but she had a really good time. I had to make Ava pick up the eggs and then she only wanted the two she found and no more.

We went to the Fruhling Fest in Bad Cannstatt (for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about)afterwards. I'll post those pictures tomorrow or the next day.

It was Africa Hot!

Swing set top and dinosaurs

Swing Set top from Oliver +S, fabric by Heather Bailey (chevron stripe). This is my 5Th Swing Set top! I think I love this pattern more than any other pattern..well I love the pajama one too by them. They are just so much better than Butterick or McCall's-type patterns. The construction is more like you'd see in a garment you purchased.
Here's Emily modeling it. I used the Seventies action by Pioneer Woman on them. I love how it makes photos look!

And Ava..who doesn't love a picture of Ava? Those legs are obscene! Like a train wreck. I can't look away. She is soooo yummy and so stink'n cute!

Here is the Wallies I had special ordered at work (the dinosaurs). There are 8 total I think but we only stuck two up for now. She wanted them right above her bed. On the way home from running errands today, Emily rubbed her hand on the stroller tire while it was moving and then stuck her fingers in her eyes and rubbed. Almost instantly they started to puff up. When we got inside they were really bad so I tackled her and dripped water in them (only way to rinse a 3 year old eyes!). She screamed and cried so bad! This photo is after she calmed down a little. Her eyes are puffy from the dirt not the crying. I cannot believe how bad her eyes got after this photo. One almost sealed shut. Scared me bad. But they are better now.

Poor baby:)
