Crafty Day

Girls with burp cloth

Today, Kendall, Jett, and I (Carey was in San Antonio) went to Mom and Dad's to spend some time with them and go swimming. Cathi and Kailey (sister and niece) went to visit too so we got to see them as well. The kids had a good time swimming and seeing their PaPa and Granny.

After lunch and swimming, Mom, Cathi, and I started a project I thought would be fun. I had seen some cute baby onesies on the internet and wanted to try to make some myself. That's pretty ambitious since I don't sew AT ALL!! But I knew Mom would help. Anyway, there is a few babies being born soon in the family and I thought these would make really cute gifts. We had a great time making them, but, I have to say they were more work than I thought they would be. Mom actually did most of the work. She did all the sewing. And I don't think it was all that hard but trying to sew on knit and having to keep changing out thread made it a lot longer process than I had thought. And then trying to tie the perfect bow. We ended up making 6 onesies, 2 little girl shirts and a couple of burp cloths. I think they turned out pretty cute for beginners. And...we had fun spending the day together!! :)

It was sooo much fun. I really had a great time. Mama actually cracked me up a couple of times. I would love to make more of these. Give Kendall and Jett hugs from their fav. aunt! Can't wait till Carey sees what we did. (we, like I did so much, HA) Love you!
