Boppy Cover

Since I was on my creative kick, I thought I'd make a new boppy cover for my boppy.  I have a couple of covers, but the one I love is for a girl.  Since we're not having a girl, that won't work.  I didn't like either one of the boy covers that I liked, so it was time to get to work again!  This time I didn't have a tutorial to follow, because the one that I did find, didn't make much of an impression on me.  So I took apart one of my old boppy covers (that was in pretty rough shape anyway), used it as a pattern, and then made my new cover.  I kept track of all of my steps, so that if needed/wanted I would be able to duplicate it, so maybe someday I'll post a tutorial on it, but for now, here's my finished project!

Nursing Cover

Okay, I've been crafty again.  This time I made a nursing cover.  I was given a couple of nursing covers when the twins were born, and so I could use those, but I really wanted to make one for myself.  I found tons of tutorials on how to make one, and I thought originally I would just glean what I wanted from each of them, but then I ended up following one from Make it and Love it.  I did change the length of the straps, and made them shorter, but it turned out so cute! 

Here's the front, well it is reversible, but I'll still probably use this as the front.

 Here's the back.

My visiting teachers thought it was really cute!

Car Seat Tent

When I first started blogging I looked at literally hundreds of baby products that looked so easy to make.  In my search, I found car seat tents.  So since our baby will be arriving in the next little while, I thought it would be great to have one.  I followed a tutorial from Pumpkin Patch Designs, and followed it pretty closely.  There were a couple of things I changed with the straps (i.e. put them closer together, and added the buttons).  I thought it turned out quite nicely. 

I really liked the diamond material better than the polka dots, but I figured since the baby will be a baby in the spring/summer, it would be much cooler than the darker side. 

Eye Spy Bags

Does anybody else have a hard time getting their kids to sit through church?  I thought so.  Anyway, we had been doing really well for awhile, but as it happens our kids became sick of the toys and books we keep in our "church" bag.  So it was time to find something new (hence the crayon rolls).  Then I thought it would be fun to do eye spy bags.  Don't look too closely, but I think they turned out pretty cute.  I went to Michaels and found buttons to put inside.  One bag has basketballs, and sports, and pirates and cars, while the other has castles, and carriages, make-up and flowers.  Anyway, not too bad!

Crayon Rolls

I have seen a lot of people who have had these cute crayon rolls at church, or on different blogs.  I've looked for a tutuorial on one, and after looking at a couple of them, decided to try and make my own.  I was going to do a tutorial on it myself, but it's hard, so instead of worrying about making sure that I have everything recorded, I'm going to wait on that until I am a bit more experienced.  However, here are a couple of pictures of my crayon rolls.  I thought these would be great for church.  I made one for both of my kids, so there won't be any fighting as we sit through the meeting!
